Subsequent reports received from the Company’s
Resident Director in Tehran, who has been in constant
communication with the responsible Persian Ministers,
have been to the effect that a new set of proposals was
being prepared by them for discussion with the Company.
Sir John Cadman, the Chairman of the Company, on
the 25th October, on the eve of his departure for America,
where he still is, instructed by telegram the Company’s
Resident Director in Tehran to inform the Minister of
Court that he was leaving for America and that he
sincerely trusted that the new proposals which he under
stood were being prepared by the Persian Government
would be based on a full sense of realities and of equity
as between the Persian Government and the Company,
and that in that event the Minister of Court might rest
assured that they would be given the most careful
consideration by the Company.
In reply to this communication the Resident Director
was asked to inform the Chairman that the Persian
Government’s proposals, which were almost complete,
were based on realities and were in consequence reason
able—at least, it was added, in the opinion of the Persian
Government.
On the 16th November the Minister of Finance con
firmed to the Resident Director that the Government’s
proposals were almost complete. These proposals have
£ not been made by the Persian Government, and the next
communication between the Company’s Resident Director
in Tehran and the Persian Government on this subject
was contained in the Government’s notification of the
27th November, a few days later, as set forth at the
commencement of this communication.
