six months’ notice of its intention
The new convention does not carry us very far, ue may
perhaps, when tiie time comes, be willing to accept tne
Persian counter-proposal.
/t Article 12 .- Claims; r Ihis is of little direct;
interest to India.
I/- Article 15 .- Debt: We are still standing fast
as regards remission of the balance of £510,000 of one
war debt. It is satisfactory that the Persians no longer
demand the remission of the prewar debo oi <1/490,000.
Artinle 14 .- The Persians are prepared to adhere
to the Optional Clause.
Uj, As regards the enumeration in the proposed
Treaty of the instruments to be abrogated or denounced
consequent on its conclusion, there is perhaps some
reason to believe that the Persian objection to specific j
numeration is, as Sir Robert Clive suggests, connected
with the existence in the Treaty of 1841 of provision
for the maintenance of a Resident at Bush ire. This
point is under consideration separately. In general,
however, there seems no reason why we should not stick
10 our guns and require specific enumeration, and I
gather that at any rate at this stage the Foreigi Office
are inclined to think the same.
HvLSSi L b Q k Pf double income-tax.- This appears
to arise in connection with the Anglo-Persian royalties.
It is not of direct interest to us.
