draft royalty agreement received on 29th May needed
further interpretation and editing in more comprehensible
language, and proposed that a legal representative of the
Company should proceed as soon as possible to Tehran.
This was followed by a further request on the 8th June
asking the Company to send authorised representatives
together with experts to Tehran in order to explain the i
draft and to re-edit it.
To this the Company replied that the new draft had
been prepared by the legal and accountancy experts on
both sides on the basis of the preliminary draft royalty
agreement, and that almost all of the alterations made
had been made at the request of the Persian Govern
ment’s advisers, that the Chairman and Directors were
overwhelmed with important problems and that neither
the legal nor the chief accountancy advisers of the Com
pany could leave for Persia, and therefore suggested that
the Persian Government should send its representatives
to London for a full explanation, since in London the
legal and accountancy advisers of both parties were
available as well as all the necessary data. The Company"
added that it would assist them to know which clauses
were not understood. To this request no reply was-
received. Meanwhile the Resident Director in Tehran
took steps to have the French text of the agreement re-
edited by the legal adviser of the Company in Tehran for
the assistance of the Persian Government.
On the 29th June the Persian Government refused (
to accept the royalty for 1931 payable to it under the'
terms of the agreements as they then existed, and on the
7th July the Company learnt from Tehran that the draft
royalty agreement was still under examination, but that
tentative proposals to the Company on an entirely
different basis were under consideration.
