Sir,
In jay despatch No« 69 ox* t-he 25th Fehruary, I had
the honour to report disouaeions with the Iranian Govemiaont
regarding medical arrangements at His ’nasty’s Consular posts
in Bast Iran. Captain O'Connor, Indian radical service, duly
arrived in Marefe to take up his duties as Me icol officer on
the staff of Hi© Majesty’s Consulate-General for Khorassan. on
the 7th April, before the documents to support his application
for a medical licence had been received in His Majesty’s Lega
tion, I was orally informed by the Head of the European Depart
ment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the Iranian Govern
ment could not after ell grant a licence to Captain O’Connor,
who must therefore confine hie practice to the staffs of His
Majesty's Consular posts. Monsieur Ansarie said that this
decision, for which he apologised profusely, was based mainly
on the undesirability of permitting a system which would have
to be extended to ^others 1 * - i#e. Hussians.
2 . i objected strongly to this reversal of the Iranian
Government's previous decision, and pointed out that, relying
on that decision, the Medical Officer had actually arrived. But
the most I could obtain from Monsieur Ansarie was a promise to
enquire whether the agreed arrangement could not be allowed to
continue during the present Medical Officer's tenure of the
post. In spite of repeated attempts, I have been unable to
obtain a reversal of the Iranian Government’s decision, and as
reported in the despatch to the Government of India, of which
/I
