Enclosure in Bagdad despatch
No, 469 dated 19.9.36.
No. D.4b61-N/36.
From
The Foreign Secretary to the (tovemment of India,
To
His Majesty’s Charge d ? Affaires, Bagdad.
Dated Simla, the 27th August, 1936.
Sir,
I am directed to reply to your despatch No.444/3/36
dated the 3rd July 1936, addressed to His Excellency the
Viceroy. There would appear to he some misunderstanding
in the statement made in paragraph 2 (a) of your despatch
that the Iraqi Government desire to terminate the system
of pilgrim passes throughout India. From the letter from
the Iraqi Ministry for Foreign Affairs No. 4601, dated the
20th May, forming an enclosure to your despatch, it does
not appear that the Iraqi Government desire that the system
of pilgrim passes should he terminated, hut only that Iraqi
visas should he issued to all classes of travellers to Iraq
including pilgrims travelling on pilgrim passes. The
point is of some material importance inasmuch as a pilgrim
pass is issued free, while fees would he demanded for a
passport.
2. The Government of India have considered whether
they should attempt to maintain the position sought to he
established by your note No. 556, dated the 8th November
1935, addressed to the Iraqi Ministry for Foreign Affairs,
forming an enclosure to your despatch No. 63/32/35, dated
the 3th November 1935, namely that in the absence of an
Iraqi consular authority at Indian ports other than Bombay
Iraqi visas and visa fees should he dispensed with altogether
They have also considered whether it would he possible to
