2. Proposals that follow arise from the fact that
we must anticipate demands in futtire from military
authorities for trained officers for service in these
areas. If we are to he in the position to lend qualified
officers with experience of current affairs it is
essential that ?/e should plan at once to place as many
officers in training as cadre limitations, financial
implications end Iranian suspicions will permit. We
recognise that actual volume of existing work does not
justify all the appointments hut considerations stated
above must outweigh this factor. We hope to reduce
possible difficulties (?with) Iranian Government by
only filling posts already (?recognised) or by creating
posts not requiring recognition.
