Copy of letter No*19-20/1, dated the 12th Jaiuary 1940
from His Majesty 1 s CbnsuL*0ens^rah foT-t^h rasan, Meshed, to the
Secretary to the Government 05 India, sjcternal Affairs Department
Hew Delhi.
Majesty’s Vice Consul in Zabul for some time at Meshed in order
to study the past history of the Sistan Consulate with a view
to assessing its present and potential future value to Gov ernment.
2. Mr. Tanday*s report was not finally completed until after
the outbreak of war and its submission at that time would have
been inopportune. It is, however, in my opinion, a concise,
interesting, and able appreciation of the present position in
Sistan and as such will, I venture to think, be of use to the
Government of India in any further consideration of this ever
recurring question that may be necessitated by war conditions.
I therefore have the honour now to submit it for the present
information of , Government ana for future reference if required.
3. Part II of the report shows clearly that under present
conditions there is no real justification for the retention of
a political officer as Vice Consul gabul, and though, with the
prevailing uncertainty regarding the intentions of the Soviet
Government in this part of the world, it would be unv/ise for
the moment to abandon our present position there altogether I
can see no objection, should there be anyCemanaibr the services
of political officers elsewhere, to the^putting into force of
the proposals already made in my letter No.101-20/1 of the
