I am directed by Lord Cushendun to trangmit nerewith,
for the information of the Secretary of State for India in
Council, a copy of a letter and enclosure addressed oy the
Secretary of the Ottoman Bank: in London to His Majesty's
Consul at Kermanshah, Persia, regarding certain alleged
misstatements contained in the Consul's "Commercial Heport*'
for May, iy£8. This department has no knowledge of any such
report, but it is believed that the passage in question may
be contained in His Majesty's Consul's Commercial Diary,
which he prepares for His Majesty's Legation at Tehran and
for the Government of India. It is understood that the
Government of India sometimes circulate the Diary through
the Department of Commercial Intelligence at Calcutta.
2. His Majesty's Minister at Tehran has been requested
to furnish a report as to the circumstances in which the
alleged misstatements were published, and to instruct His
Majesty's Consul not to reply direct to the Ottoman Bank, but
to forward any observations to His Majesty's Legation.
o. I am however to suggest that tnis matter should
also be brought to the notice of the Government of India in
order that it may be ascertained whether the extract of which
the Bank complains was issued in that country.
Your obedient servant,
