warehouses, and of a slight increase in bonded warehouse
dues, might also be considered. I believe these sugges
tions to be of importance and hope that consideration
will be given to them in due course.
6. To revert to the main subject of this letter,
1 suggest that the Council should authorise me to inform
the Persian Government, through his Britannic Majesty f s
Minister at Tehran, that the ’Iraq Government are
prepared, in so far as their financial situation permits,
to co-operate with the Persian Government in the estab
lishment of a rapid and permanent trade route between
Azerbaijan and ’Iraq. They regret the obstacle that
has been put in the way of friendly discussions of this
nature by the continued failure of the Persian Government
to recognise the 'Iraq Government otficially, but they
will, for their part, do their best to minimise any
delay which may arise owing to this cause.
I have already informed Your Excellency, in
another connection, that 1 have urged Sir Percy Loraine
to take this opportunity of urging upon the Persian
Government the necessity of recognising the ’Iraq Govern
ment, am it appears to me a suitable opportunity for
the ’Iraq Government, while displaying a friendly
attitude, to make a dignified reference to the subject.
7. I am sending a cox>y of this letter to the
Ministries of Finance, Conmunications k Works and the
intei'ior, and to the Rais of the Royal Diwan.
Tours sincerely,
(Signed) B. H. Bourdillon.
His Excellency
’Abdul Munsin Beg al Sa’dun,
President of the Council of
Ministers, Baghdad.
