CONCLUSIONS.
THF SUB-COMMITTEE AGREED:-

and on which agreement with the Persian Govern
ment has not yet been reached, v/ith a view to
the preparation and issue of comprehensive
instructions to Sir R. Hoare on his return to
his post early in October. These instructions
should, so far as possible, be of a nature to
place Sir R. Hoare in a position to conclude a
settlement with the minimum of reference to His
Majesty’s Government - i.e. they should in each
case state the maxima and minima desiderata of
His Majesty’s Government and give Sir R. lioare
as wide a measure of discretion as possible;
(d) That in general the points on which agreement
with the Persian Government has already been
reached in substance need no reconsideration;
(3) (a) That Gir R. Hoare should endeavour to obtain,
as part of the general treaty settlement,
a "Gentlemen’s Agreement 1 ' by which His
Majesty’s ships should continue to enjoy
their present facilities at Kenjam for as
long a period as possible, in any case not
less than twenty-five years;
(b) That the Admiralty should consider in consul
tation with the Treasury and the
India Office

whether, instead of offering the Persian
Government a yearly rent for the continuance
of the present facilities at Henjam (as had
previously been contemplated), it would not
be possible to sanction the expenditure from
Admiralty funds of a corresponding or lesser
sum with a view to securing docking and other
facilities at Indian ports, which could then
be offered to the Persian Navy free of charge,
or at greatly reduced rates, in return for the
continued use of Ilenjam by His Majesty’s ships
as contemplated in conclusion 3(a) above.
The Admiralty to communicate the result of
this consultation to the Foreign Office as
soon as possible;
