Minute by Mr. L. B aggallay. dated,, 20tU May,..J,952.
Farrukh Khan told me a few days ago that
the Persian Government did not see their way to permitting
the appointment of Consular officers at Jask and Charbar.
I asked him to confirm this in writing in reply to our
private enquiry (fortunately only private) of March 8th.
This he has not yet done.
Farrukh as usual explained that he was
simply passing on the decision of the "competent
authorities": it had nothing to do with him or the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and had come as a surprise
to them. He supposed that the authorities did not like
having foreign officials of any kind in so orimitive a
part of the world. An additional reason is probably to
be found in the fact that the proposed nominees were
Telegraphs officials, against whom there were so many
complaints about a year ago.
We had some discussion about these complaints.
Farrukh said that the telegranh officials could do anything
they liked provided they did it privately. There was
nothing to prevent anyone from going to the assistance of
a compatriot who got into trouble provided he did not call
himself a political officer or Consular officer when he was
not one. I said that to the best of my belief only once
had an official of the I.I.C.Co., by a slip of the pen,
called himself a "political" officer, and I could not
remember it ever having been proved that anyone of them
had called himself a "Consular" officer. Anyhow, that
was ancient history now. If he was quite sure that there
was no objection to these officials performing certain
functions
