Sir,
With reference to my despatch Ho. 364 of July 26th
transmitting a copy of a circular despatch that I had addressed
to His Majesty’s Consular Officers in Persia on the subject of
the difficulties encountered by British subjects and British
protected persons who were endeavouring to divest themselves
under Article XIII of the Hationality Law of the Persian nation
ality imposed upon them by that law, I have the honour to inform
you that for the last few months I have received a stream of
complaints from the Kurramis resident in the Caspian provinces
regarding their treatment by the Persian authorities, more
particularly in matters arising out of their nationality.
2 0 As attempts to deal by correspondence with complaints of
this kind coming from ignorant and mostly illiterate persons
living at a distance inevitably proved fruitless, and as they
finally became so numerous I asked Mr. Trott to make a journey
to the principal centre® in which the Kurramis reside and while
doing what he could to smooth their path with the local author
ities, to explain to them their position under Persian law.
5 # Mr. Trott accordingly spent some days in the Caspian
provinces in September and I am as a result indebted to him for
an interesting and valuable report upon the position of the
— Kurramis. I enclose a copy of this report herein, certain
sections dealing with individual cases having been omitted.
4. I feel convinced as a result of Mr. Trotfs investigations
that the troubles of the Kurramis are largely due to their
failure
