About this item
- Content
Correspondence and other papers relating to the Government of India’s attempts to obtain control over rock salt production on the island of Hormuz [Jazīreh-ye Hormoz], partly in order to thwart Japanese attempts to establish their own concession on the island. The file includes a copy of the contract (in French) agreed between the Ministry of Finance of the Government of Iran, and the British Legation at Tehran, dated 9 June 1941, for the purchase of salt on Hormuz by the Government of India (ff 82-86). Much of the subsequent correspondence concerns the expenditure of the contract. The file also includes discussion of Frank C Strick & Company’s concession for red oxide production at Hormuz. The file’s principal correspondents are: HM Ambassador to Iran, Reader William Bullard; the External Affairs Department of the Government of India; the Foreign Office.
The file includes a divider, which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
