understand it, is that the future India, when she
obtains her new status, is likely to went more
representation abroad. But the appointment of an
Indian First Secretary to the. Legation would mean
that two of the highest posts on Bullard’s staff
would be held by the Government of India’s nominees,
and we do not feel able either to accept such a
position or to regard it as likely in any way to 5 ;
satisfy the ’future India.
So long therefore as the Government of India
have one of their officials in the Tehran Legation
with the local rank of Counsellor, ivi r« Eden would
not feel able to consent to the appointment of an
Indian First Secretary. On the other hand, he
would, if hr. Amery wishes, be prepared to examine
further, in consultation with Bullard the
desirability of appointing an Indian Commercial
Secretary to the Legation. We do not ourselves
see any special reason against the appointment of
an Indian Commercip.1 Secretary, with the functions
which the title implies, but we would naturally wish
to ascertain Bullard’s views on this subject before
the suggestion is. pursued further*
