Altogether £50.000 has been lodged with Imperial Bank
of Persia in London of which Persian Government has
received £10 ; 000. I have also allowed Persian G overnment
to borrow against balance of £40,000, £20QQ urgently re
quired for local administration Bushire.
Suggestion was to allow Persian Government to have
£30,000 out of this balance of £40,000 leavilmg £8.000
still in hands of Imperial Bank of Persia.
Outstanding amount of accumulations available for
Persian Government is therefore £228,000 and amount to
be provided by the two governments is £190,000.
I do not think Imperial Bank of Persia could finance
this sum at Teheran but case does not arise if you agree
to wish officially expressed by Persian Government to
have money placed to its credit at Imperial Bank of
Persia in London.
