FIRST OP ^vQ PARjJS*
Addressed India
repeated Kerman
I have felt for a long time that for geographical reasons
BANDAR AB'"AS cannot be adequately handled from XERLIAN and that Gulf
interests Iiave suffered thereby. At present moment we have no
officer between BUSKTRE and BALOGHiaBEAN,
No. 2341.

2* As you are aware there liave been great developments in this
area and RAF have been expanding rapidly. The political side has
been largely neglected and we have no means of collecting information
or ensuring that our interests are adequately represented. AOQ states
CICI would welcome an (officer ?) there, and if BANDAS ABBAS becomes
an assembly station for convoy, an officer would also be required from
naval point of view.
3* I therefore reccranend. post of Vice-Consul at BANDAR ABBAS
be re-created for duration of the war on same basis and with same
allowances as before, and that NICIDI&ON be sent to fill it.
SEPOnD AND LAST PART,
There is a choice of NICHOLSON or IfeOONTIIGBBT (? former) is
on the spot and it would be more convenient for several reasons that he
should go.
4* I appreciate that this would cause sane, inconvenience to
BARLOW (though I understand there are two other officers at Kerman)
and I would help him by making available the BUSHIHE cypher clerk
now on loan to KHORRAMSHAHR. LESTER is an experienced nan of 13 years
service who has been at the top of his grade of Ruices 35Q/- for some
time, and I suggest a ' ost of extra assistant similar to tiiat of HART
be created at KERMAN on the same scale of Rs. 420 - 500 + Rs .50 Customs
compensatory allowance and Rs. 50 house rent or nouse in lieu lor the
/duration
