as Your Excellency has promised to bring tbe views of the
Imperial Government to the notice of the competent quarters,
I am awaiting the result of your steps in this connection
and also in respect of the recalling of forces from the
frontier line, in order that I may take action with the
Ministry of War of my Government with a view to withdrawing
the remaining forces who have been sent to those regions as
a result of the presence of forces there.
Telegraphic instructions have also been
given to Monsieur Ala to explain the views of the Imperial
Government in London in the above sense and take action for
obtaining the result.
There were certain points in Your Excellency’s
note under reply about which I wish to give explanations:
1. In the course of our conversation on Dey 2nd (December
24th, 1935) I informed Your Excellency that with a view to
finding out the actual locality and comparing the place with
the existing map it has been decided that certain officials
should be sent to the place, a matter to which I have also
alluded in ray note of Dey 3rd (December 25th, 1935) and the
statement made in your note saying that I have not made any
verbal statement on the matter is no doubt based on
misunderstanding.
2. I am for my part sorry that the administrative
(official ?) information which was supplied to me regarding
the agreement reached in sending a commission was based on
some misunderstanding,
3. ith regard to the last paragraph of Your Excellency’s
note under reply, I find it necessary to point out the fact

that it was only in compliance with Your Excellency’s
request, made in the course of our verbal discussions on
Dey 2nd (December 24th, 1935) and also in the note of Dey
3rd (December 25th, 1935) and with a view to avoiding any

About this item
- Content
Correspondence, papers and maps relating to territorial infringements by British and Persian subjects (levies, troops, customs officials) across the border dividing Persia [Iran] and British Baluchistan (part of present-day Pakistan). Correspondence is chiefly exchanged between the British Legation in Tehran, the Foreign Office in London, and the External Affairs Department of the Government of India. The correspondence includes efforts to ascertain the facts and circumstances of reported incidents, and the ensuing diplomatic correspondence with the Persian Government’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Incidents covered include: in September 1930, the arrival in Dizzak [Dīzūk], Persian Baluchistan, of British levies in pursuit of camel thieves; in November 1935, the presence of British troops near Kuhak [Nūk Jow], Persia, the Persian Government’s dispatch of 400 troops to the region, the British Government’s insistence that the area occupied by its troops at Gorich Kalag [Gorich Categ] lay in British territory, and assertions that troops were dispatched in response to reports that a Persian occupation of the area was anticipated; in November 1937, the raid of a shop in Pilani Sunt (referred to locally as Kastag [Kastak]) by Iranian customs officials, regarded by British officials as an incursion into British territory.
