Department Srpress Letter No. F.369-N/30, of 28th September.
As Minister points out, there are some restrictions
of a not very serious nature imposed by the Persian Govern
ment on the amalgamation. These, however, will probably
adjust themselves in practice. A more important point is
the possibility of the Consul not being able to fly his flag
at Bandar Abbs a. Nonnally he will be there for some five or
six months of the year, during the Winter, and for that
period will be carrying out his consular duties. It would
be distinctly preferable therefore if he could fly his flag»
I imagine, however, from whet Minister says, that Persian
Government would be within their ri^its to refuse this
Concession 1 , and the action he proposes to take appears to
be the only one to meet the case. For the Consul to start
flying his flag, and then for the Persian Government to
reouest that he should cease to do so, would obviously be
inadvisgbl e.
S
Taking all the circumstance^ into consideration,
and particularly the economy effected by the amalgamation,
I agree with the Ministers proposal*
