ku regards exports to Persia in 1933, it will be seen
that, with the exception of metal and electrical goods and
cement, the decline extend© to every item on the list and is
particularly emphasised in the case of s gar, ?etroleu*Y
products and cotton goods. In the laet named it seeme probable
that the Japanese have made serious inroada into the Persian
market.
The exceptionally heavy drop in Soviet importa froa ^ersi
in 1933 affects every commodity without exception. Tn the
case of rice, the total imports into the TT.a.S.P. from all
sources have fallen from Fbs. 67.7 million to Tibs. 2.9
million for the first nine months, and a similar reduction has
taken place in the total imports of dried fruit, ao that
apparently imports from Persia have not been replaced by
purchasea elsewhere. There has been^oine increase in the
domestic production of both these commodities, but financial
stringency ana the consequent subetiintial cut in Soviet imports
in general are no doubt the real reason for the diminution in
purchases. In livestock (cattle, sheep and goats) increased
supplies from Sinkiang have to some extent replaced former
Imports from Persia. The bulk of the cotton imports this year
16,000 tons out of 21,000 tons) have come from the 'nited State
and the fall in purchases of Persian wool has been offset by
increased imports from Mongolia and Sinkiang.
The figures q oted above and in Annex 2, it should be
noted, are taken from the Soviet Foreign Trade Peturns and
differ very wlaely, it would seem, from the Persian figures
(please Bee enclosure in Teheran despatch to the Foreign fflce
No. 11 of the 12th January, 1933). The disparity between the
two sets of figures is partially explained by the fact that
in the Soviet returns, exports are entered at their cost f.o.b.
Soviet port or franco the Soviet frontier, while imports are
/entered
