Enclosure 6.
Major Pyper.
Decided after discussion with the Minister that it is
impossible to continue the present arrangement by which the
Surgeon to the Consulate-General also acts as Vice-Consul at
Sistan. It is obvious from Foreign Office telegram No. 110,
dated the 12th November, 1935, addressed to Tehran and
repeated to India, that H.M.G. also share this view. The best
plan therefore appears to be to attempt to overcome the
isi and other objections to the restoration of a senarate
Vice-Consul at Sistan. Meanwhile, if, as is anticipated, the
question is discussed with Mons. Kazemi at Delhi, we should
take the line that we intend to separate the two functions and
to restore the /ice—Consul at Zabul; that there are, however,
certain financial and practical considerations involved which
maKe it impossible to do this at once and we shall therefore be
grateful if the Iranian Government will agree to allow the
present system to continue for a short time until some other
arrangement is made.
