&a addressing to the Government of India in this ooination.
3* A further oamplication has recently been introduced into
the problem by the amalgamation of the districts of Abadan and
Khorramah&hr under a single Governor, who has been made com
pletely independent of the Governor-General of Khusisfcan. it
would appear that this change will make it necessary to add the
district of Abadan - Khorramshahr to the area which the Iranian
Government have been requested to recognise as the district of
His Majesty’s consul at Ahwaas. so long as the holder of the
Gonsular post at Khorramshahr is unmistakeably subordinate to
Hie Majesty's Consul at Ahwaz, I do not expect that the Iranian
Government will raise any objection to the inclusion of the new
administrative district in the consular district of Kis Majesty's
Gonstil at Ahwaz, The only inconvenience that would result would
be that, for the reasons explained in Chancery letter to the
Consular Department Ho* 296/18/3r of the 19th Uovember, 1936,
Hie Majesty's Consul at Ahwaz would be unable to communicate
direct with the Governor of Abadan - Xhorramshahr, which in
practice he would only wish to do when His Majesty's Vice-Consul
at Mhorraiashahr was absent# I fear, however, that the change
may make it difficult to proceed with the suggestion, made
originally in Sir E# Mnatchbull-Hugessen *8 semi-official letter
to Mr# Scott o# 817/0 - 9 of the 50th September, 1936, that
His Majesty's Vice-Consul at Khorramshahr should be given the
local rank of Consul# It will be remembered that consideration
of this suggestion was postponed pending the arrival of Mr# <at-
kinson's successor at Ahwag (see Mr# Scott’s letter to my pre
decessor No* K 11767/389/234 of the 2nd December, 1935)# ;tr#
Gard ner has now informed me that he fully concurs in the pro
posal to give the Vice-Consul local rank of Consul, and I should
therefore have liked now to submit it officially for your favour
able consideration. But if the Iranian Government are informed
that the post at JOiorramahahr lias been raised to a Consulate, I
