Kis 'ffijesty’s ^e t tion prenent their co iplinents
to the Ivape rial Ministry of Foreign Affairs , and in
rer.iy to the Tr ini try’s rote-Verbale Ko.5171, dated
t.areh let (10th Esfand), have the honour to state that
the recert agreements so happily concluded in regard
to Bahrain related to:-
(1) letter iails despatched from Bahrain
to Iranian ports, and
(2) the exchange of telegrams between
Iran and Bahrain,
The parcel post is a separate question, the p oceiure
of which the Imperial rinisi -y complain having been
adopted by th BrJ .rain authorities because the Iim erial
Iranian Government still owe the terminal oh rges for
several years on parcels despatched from Iran to Bel rain.
Nevertheless His Majesty’s legation will examine the
question of the p reel post without delay and will see
what can be '■■one to find a solution satisfactory to both
parties,
2 # Meanwhile, His ha^esty’s Legation learn that the
Iranian postal authorities are requiring the addressees
of letters from Bahrain to pay Double the ordinary
Iranian postage. When the recent agreement was node His
Majesty's Legation understood that in such cases the
Iranian authorities, in order to maintain tb dr rsoint of
view, would collect the Iranian postage from the addressee,
and they hod no objection to that procedure. They hold,
however, that to levy a fine by collecting twice the
ordinary postal rate is contrary to the spirit of the
agreement, an- 1 they be*j~the Imperial Ministry to have
orders issued to the postal authorities concerned not
to collect the double rate in future.
