[Despatch from His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran to the Foreign Office
London, No. 585, dated the 29th December 1934. (To India 267).
I have the honour to state that it is reported in the local press that it
has been decided to terminate, as from January 1 st, 1935, the appoint
ments of all honorary Persian Consuls.
2 . This decision has been conveyed by telegram to all Persian missions
iabroad.
3. In commenting on this step the ‘Ittila’at’ states that, while it could
not be said that all these Consuls had abused their appointment, there was
no doubt that some had obtained the position for their own personal ends
and had brought shame on the glorious name of Persia.
4. I am sending a copy of this despatch to. the Foreign Secretarv to the
Government of India (No. 267). J
