I have felt for a long time that for geographical reasons
BANDAR AB AS cannot be adequately handled from KERMAN and that Gull
interests have suffered thereby* At present moment we have no
officer between BUSHIRS and BALUCHISTAN.
o you are aware there have been great developments in
this area and RAF have been expanding rapidly. The giitical side has
been largely neglected and we have no means of collecting miormation
or ensuring that our interests are adequately represented.^ AOC
states CICI would welcome an (officer ?) there, and if BANDAR ABBA3
becomes an assembly station for convoy, an oliicer would also be
required from naval point of view.
3 # x therefore recommend post of Vice-Consul at BANDAR A3 ao
be re-created for duration of the war on same basis and with sane
allowances as before, and that NICHOLSON be sent to fill i •
