#7th February,1937.
X have the honour to refer to your despatch j?o*461
(T. 1632£/14606/3cJ5) of the 19th iforetaber 1936,regardIn^; the
appointment of an Iranian Vice-Conaul at Quetta,
I have nov/ received a copy of the Oovernrnent of
India’s express letter to the Secretary of State for India,
6 Zlui/L'6 of the ^th February,stating that they do not
wish to raise any objection to this appointment. In a sub
sequent telegram regarding the appointment of a T unopean
medical officer to the staff of His Majesty’s Consulate-
General for Zhorassan (the position with regard to which is
explained in my despatch Iio.69 of the £5th February) the
Government of India suggested that their concession over the
appointment of an Iranian Vice-consul at { uetta might be used
to obtain better conditions of practice for this Medical
Officer. I consider .however that it is most unliicely that
the Iranian Government would be willing to make any further
concession at present in the question of the Medical officer.
I think therefore that the friendly attitude of the Government
of India regarding the Vice-Consul at (uetta might be more
usefully advanced as an argument to persuade the Iranian
Government to show the same accommodating spirit over the
connected question of the redefinition of our Consular districts
in Iran,as suggested in my' despatch Ho.37 of the 26th January.
If therefore the Government of India’s decision has not
already been conrunicated to the Iranian rogation in Londonj
