already, in their aide-memoire of the 29th November last,
furnished an assurance exactly corresponding to the only new
factor in the case: they have, that is, stated that
”in the event of the Imperial G-overnment- desiring to
’’raise any of their Vice-Consulates in the United
’’Kingdom or in India to the status of a Consulate,
”His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom or
’’the Government of India, as the case may be, will
’’raise no objection”.
It seems to the Embassy that this was the utmost that, on
any reasonable basis, could be expected of them in the
circumstances, since it confirmed - albeit the confirmation
was hardly necessary - that the Imperial Government were
free to take action precisely similar, mutatis mutandis ,
to that taken by His Majesty’s Government, in the case
under discussion.
5. The Embassy venture in this connexion to emphasise
that the consular post at Bandar Abbas is not a new one; that,
when it was closea down for a while, His Majesty’s Government
neither requested nor desired the closing down of any
Iranian consular establishment as a counterpart; and that it
has now been reopened to meet the pressing exigencies of the
war in which Iran is engaged as an Ally of Great Britain. It
would seem entirely unreasonable, in these circumstances, that
the Imperial Government should expect a generalised guarantee
of British concurrence in the opening by them of a new consular
post at some unspecified time and in some unspecified place.
Nevertheless the Embassy have no doubt that, in the event of the
Imperial Government desiring to open a consular post at some
place in the United Kingdom where their interests were
such as to render expedient the permanent residence of
an Iranian consular officer, the proposal would be examined
by his Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom with all
possible sympathy.
