My Lord,
With reference to my despatch No.189/54/34 of
December 13th last, I have the honour to transmit to your
Excellency herewith a copy of a note which I have now
received from the Iraqi Government Informing me that they
have appointed Ahmad Zaki Beg al Khayyat Consul-General at
Bombay. This gentleman is at present Mutasarrlf of Kerbala
Llwa.
2. Your Excellency will observe that the Iraqi Govern
ment agree not to disturb, for a year, the arrangement by
which pilgrims from India are allowed entry Into Iraq If
supplied with passes from the authorities of the Government
of India. It is Incorrect to speak of a pilgrimage season
in this connexion, since the great majority of pilgrims from
India come to this country not to take part in the ’Haj’, or
annual pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, but to visit the Holy
Cities in Iraq itself, and this they do all the year round.
I have not thought it necessary to call the attention of the
Iraqi Government officially to this misapprehension.
3. It seemed to me desirable, however, to seek from
the Iraqi Government an assurance that the officials of the
Government of India will continue to grant Iraqi visas at
places other than Bombay, and a copy of my note on this
subject is enclosed. I shall not fail to inform your \
Excellency of the reply of the Iraqi Government on this point,
4. I am sending a copy of this despatch to His Majes- -
ty*s principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.^ \
J
I have the honour to be I
Your Lordship's most obedient servant.
Sd. F.H.Humphrys.
His Excellency
The Viceroy of India,
Foreign Department,
New Delhi.
