Sir,

With reference to your Telegram ^o a 0543 of July 6tii

I hare the honour to submit the following report:-
!• With, reference to allegea irregal&ritifts on the part
of the Persian Cuntoi&e officials at A'oadan I have macLe en ^ui
enquiries from the Anglo-Persian Oil Company Jut.d a # and have
iud an unofficial interview with Tihe Pro/incial director of
OustamBr The latter admits that the Persian boundjy at Abada:
is formed by the low water &ark of tLa Shett-el-Arab and
that legally Persian Customs official# shoula nou proceed
out Ifcto the stream. In view^however, of the peculier diffi
culties caused by this frontier and by the congestion often
prevailing at the one available jetty a special agreement
has been reached whereby certain formaiiities may be carried
out before the arrival of a ship at the t jetty e So far no
eomplaint has ever been made to my knowledge by any of the
shipping firms concisrn^d nor by the Captain of any merchant
recseX,
i
2. In regard to the ^aiantine officer the same remark,
apply to him and I understand that relations are very good
between him and the Anglo-Persian Oil Company i.td e , Messrs
orick 3cott Co., and the B. 1. Coy, , who are the shipping
firrus concerned
3, In regard to the allegation that the Persians are
ol aiming the Shatt-el-Arab. From my recent conversation with
the Governor of Abadan and the Provincial director of Custom
US JXusJfcZ.
there appears to be no foundation for <<K^r etnitnmnnl,, Both
the above officials recognise as the frontier the line laid
down
