niittee agreed to the continuance up to the 31st March 1931 of the tem-
iiorarv staff engaged on the revision of Aitchison’s Treaties and to the
inclusion of the necessary provision on account of the staff in the Budget
f or 1931-32 if, at the time of preparing the budget for that year, it was
found that the work of revision could not be completed within the 1930-31
financial year. As would be seen from the statement in Appendix II this
important work was still very far from completion, and some of the major
reasons for the unavoidable delay were set forth in the last column of this
statement. It was therefore proposed to continue, on the existing terms,
the present temporary 7 staff up to the 29th February 1932. Sanction of
fhe Standing Finance Committee was accordingly requested to the pro-

About this item
- Content
This part relates to the Government of India's decision to issue a revised edition of Aitchison's Treaties (full title: A Collection of Treaties, Engagements and Sanads Relating to India and Neighbouring Countries ), with revised narratives for each geographical area covered, incorporating the principal events that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition in 1909.
The part concerns the revised narrative for the section regarding Persia [Iran], Seistan [Sistan], Kerman and Persian Baluchistan, and includes extensive interdepartmental correspondence (most of which is dated 1929-1931) discussing the contents of the revised narrative, as well as the question of which treaties and agreements to include alongside it.
The correspondence goes on to cover the requirement for a fresh proof of the revised narrative, following the Government of India's decision (made in consultation with His Majesty's Government) to defer its publication, in order to include references not only to recent events but also to further developments that are expected in the near future.
Most of the part is made up of a copy of the second proof of the revised narrative (ff 24-41) together with copies of numerous related treaties, agreements and correspondence covering the period 1763-1928 (ff 42-216), of which a significant amount is written in French.
The main correspondents are the following: the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India; the British Legation, Tehran; officials of the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , Foreign Office, Colonial Office, and the Government of India's Foreign and Political Department.
