As regards Southern Persia, possibly it is intended to make all the
Consulates within the sphere of the Government of India, Indian Consulates
on the lines of Bushire, Kerman, Sistan, &c. If so, we should naturally be
prepared to accept our moiety of the cost in the same way as we do in the
case of other Indian Consulates in Persia.

15. The foregoing paragraphs were drafted before receipt of your
telegram of the 10th of May 1917. Although many of the points raised by
us above have been anticipated in that telegram, and in some measure
disposed of, we have thought it right to leave these paragraphs more or less
as they were drafted in order that His Majesty’s Government may have on
record the full considerations that prompted our telegram of the 27th April
1917.
10. As it has been decided that the present military arrangements are
to be maintained as before and that the question of the military arrangements
after the war must stand over until the situation is clearer, we need say no
more on this subject at present than that we presume that, before any
decision is finally made, we shall be given a full opportunity to study and
discuss the strategic and military considerations which arise from the
proposals so far as they affect Indian military policy and responsibilities.
We have, &c.,
(Signed) Chelmsford.
