MOST IMMEDIATE.
Your telegram No. 143.
I have consulted United Kingdom Commercial Corporation
representative. His views, with which I agree entirely, are
as follows.
2. Your paragraph 3. Iranian Government is not a seller
of wool, as proposed export monopoly hy syndicate has not
materialised. Iranian Government cannot therefore guarantee
quality or price. Normally purchases for export must he
approved hy syndicate hut my agreement eliminates this
condition, leaving me free to huy from syndicate members or
elsewhere. This enables me to secure qualities required
provided I am not too late hut there is ample wool available to
absorb kran funds. There is no Government control of price,
which will depend on qualities purchased and extent of
competition. Germany is in the same position as ourselves.
There are local experts available whom I propose to employ. I
am satisfied that proposed arrangement gives maximum security.
3. Your paragraph 4. Position of United Kingdom
Commercial Corporation will become untenable if 30,000 tons of
wheat provided for in preliminary agreement are now refused.
It was the offer of this wheat which secured the agreement and
if it is refused [? it is] unlikely that we shall be allowed
to buy any wool. Germans and Russians both want more than is
at present allotted to them and authorities v/ould be glad to
allow them to take the balance if our offer of wheat Tell
through.
4. Final agreement draft [?will be] ready for signature
as soon as wheat prices available.
Repeated to New Delhi telegram No.82.
(Foreign Office please pass urgently to United Kingdom
Commercial Corporation).
