Secretary, £,^0. Department^
Please see Foreign Office letter of 12th
November below about the appointment of an Indian
Trade Commissioner at Tehran,
Since Itr. Baggailfay's letter of 26th February
1940 to Sir William. Croft (flagged on attached E,�,
file) a number of developments have occurred, Mr,
Caroe^ letter of 10th September 194C gave the Gkrvemment
of India's views on Sir R, Bullard's suggestion for the
appointment of a Trade Commissioner, to the effect that
though the suggestion had much to commend it, the Govern
ment of India would much prefer the posting of an Indian
Political Service officer to one of the regular^
appointments on the Legation staff, e.g, to tb&ir First
Secretary. Consideration of the proposal was held
up for various reasons and in their telegram No. 5302
of 8th July 1943*> the Governmen|; of India again stated
their preference for an Indiar^Secretary to the Legation
adding that in present circumstances commercial
exchanges are so hedged around by import and export
controls at both ends that the usual Indian method of
representation by a Trade Commissioner is inappropriate.
4$ The Foreign Office in April 1943 definitely turned down
/ the proposal for the appointment of an Indian First
Secretary and there the matter has since rested. The
Government of India's arguments in their telegram of
8th July, 1942 had perhaps an air of special pleading
and it may now be found that they will welcome the
appointment of an Indian Trade Commissioner, who would
presumably have an office separate from the Legation -
it any rate the clear course now seems to be to
telegraph asking for the Government of India's views on
the matter.
