My i^ord*,
I have laid before the Lords
Commissioners of ills Majesty’s Treasury your letter
of the 4th instant (189949/w34) enclosing copy of
correspondence with the i-as em Bank, Limited, with
reference to their proposal to open a bank at
n^rmanshah. In reply I am to request you to inform
i^arl Ourzon of Kedleston that Their Lordahips
consider it undesirable that the Imperial Bank of
Persia aiiould continue to hold the monopoly in Persia,
tyhile Their Lordships acquiesced in the view of Bir
P. Cox as reported in his telegram No. 5C of January
19th, 1919, that it was premature to encourage the
advent of another Bank at that date. They are far
from satisfied with the financial arrangements made
with the Imperial Bank and They think it would be
much in the Public interest that other British
Banking interests should also be in a position to
deal with business in Per^ta
The Under Secretary of State,
Foreign Office.
