there le no other means of establishing it on oath, the
consul in charge of the records should swear an affidavit
saying that he finds these records among the archives, it
being the evidence relating to the claim in question* An
affidavit to that effect by His Majesty's Consul would give
the relevant papers some appearance of authority, and would
pro!.* ,ly lead a claims commission to accept them for what
they are worth.
o. Unless, however, further evidence can be obtained,
it appears improbable that His Majesty's Government will
ultimately be able to resist payment of the claim of fceuben
Lalehzar. In the event of the question ariain of the
setting up of a claims commission between His Majesty's
Government and the Persian Government to decide upon the
numerous claims in dispute, it may prove of use to hold out
the possibility of settlement of a claim of this nature as
an inducement to the Persian Government to a ree to establish
such a commission* If, however, you see a prospect of a
satlBfactory settlement of the whole question of British
claims against Persia without the establishment of a claims
commlsolon,it might well become desirable to authorise you
to settle this claim* But in present circumstances it
appears preferable to delay the settlement of this claim,
even if it is a good claim, until such time as the Persian
Government show a willingness to arrive at a general settle
ment of all claims in dispute between the two governments.
