xiii Jould ’/ou please refer to Tehran tel eram
Do, 59 of the 16th April 1945 regarding the appointment of an
% \
agent at Jhabbar. I went into t; is matter ven r thoroughly
with Hadow on the spot and we car.e to the conclusion that
a representative of sotib kind is required. The establishment
of an official agent would, however, invlove us In needless
4
disputes with the iersian Government, as the Indian comaunltv
of dhahb* r would be encoan ed to reopen ay nctionailty and
f\
propert 3 r questions v.uich nave a 1 ready been settled, but some
form of coordinator for the Indian community there is
clearly requires.
^t the present moment i'r. ^ ed bh&h, the represent:, tlve
of Cui-setji Hoodbjuoy, the steamer agents, is acting as
unofficial head of the Inc 1 an coiimunity, and t.ny letters
which they wish to send to the Consul and any replies which
he makes are sent through him. This sort of filter saves a
great deal of trouble in both directions and if we make it
clear that he is simply being used as kin t>
restante for correspondence with the Bandar Aboas Consulate,
I do not see that anyone can object. . I recommend that he
should be Lc J&-5C ' his work, and have arranged
for payments to begin from the 1st o" mull 1946. If at any
time strategic and political reasons cor pel us to have s.n
official agent to keep watch on the Persian side the
Baluch frontier, tnen the post Con be stepped up and a special
man appointed. I am sending cop: r of this letter to /eightmar
