in big state monopolies. It is also
clear that from the purely commercial point
of view Perso-Soviet trade is of much more import
ance to Persia than to Russia, sime the Persian
market is of relatively small value as compared
with the total exports markets of the Soviet
Govt .
The papers now submitted are copies of
papers in the E. & 0. Dept., but that dept,
has agreed that when these papers are of
political interest they should be submitted
by the Pol. Dept. The opposition fostered by
the late Minister of Court against Soviet trade
methods has been continued, and there has been
a regular boycott of Russian goals in Gilan and
an attempt to centralise and control commercial
trajaJactions with the Soviets under the Iran
Trading Corporation. Prom Mr. Hoare’s
telegram of 23rd Peb., it will be seen that the
Soviets have threatened to stop purchasing Persian
products altogether, unless the Persians
aoandon the idea of centralising their trade with
Russia or apply the same principle to trade in
general. j..ieanwhile the Perso-Soviet Treaty
appears to be more or less in abeyance pending
negotiations.
The memorandum by the Commercial Secretary
enclosed with Tehran despatch of 12th Jan.
(P.Z.1237/33) is of considerable infc erest as it
shows the conflicting figures of the Persians and
the Soviets in regard to the balance o± trade.
Both ciaim an "adverse" balance against themselves
and Mr. Lingeman has no idea which of the sets
of.figures is the less unreliable. Mr. Parrer
(D.° .T. ) ii^d.o. letter to the P.0, of 14 th Oct.,
(Plag j) accepted the Russian figures.
