Persian Government was to receive its 16 per cent,
ought to be calculated.
After lengthy but unfruitful negotiations the Per
sian Government formally appointed, in August, 1920,
the late Sir Sydney Armitage-Smith—then its Financial
Adviser—as its Representative to adjust finally all
questions in dispute between the Company and the
Imperial Government of Persia, either by an amicable
arrangement, or, if that were not possible, by arbitra
tion. The Persian Government’s Representative was
assisted in his negotiations by a firm of eminent chartered
accountants as well as by eminent lawyers in this
country.
A change of Ministry in Persia took place shortly
after the appointment of the Government’s Representa
tive, and the new Ministry confirmed his authority to
continue negotiations with the Company.
The Company met the Persian Government’s Repre
sentative, both parties having the assistance of legal and
accountancy advisers, and on the 22nd December, 1920,
an agreement was signed on behalf of the Persian Govern
ment and of the Company, setting out the basis upon
which the Company’s profits were to be calculated for
the future in ascertaining the royalty to be paid to the
Persian Government under the D’Arcy Concession. At
the same time, a collateral agreement was signed
between the Persian Government’s Representative and
the Chairman of the Company by which the Company
agreed to pay to the Persian Government in final
settlement of the outstanding questions between the
Government and the Company a sum of £1,000,000
sterling.
