•^reliminar/ agreement .
Early in 1932 a preliminary royalty agreement was
reached by the ersian Minister of the Court and Sir
Cadman, chairman of the Company. This agreement was drafted,
initialed in London by representatives of the comoany and
the 1 ersian Government, and sent to Teheran. It arrived
there in May, but has not yet been ratified.
M It will be seen, the ref orethe company adds, ’’that
the directors cannot be accused of having failed to treat
seriously the view of the Persian Government, discussions
initiated in the year 192& relative to the revision of the
IVArcy Concession having been carried on continuously to
the spring of 1930, and further prolonged discussions
relative to the assessment of royalty having been carried
on before and since’'.
Nevertheless in June last the Persian Government
refused to accept the royalty for 1931 payable under the
agreements then existing, and in July the company learned
that tentative proooeals on an entirely different basis
from that of the draft royalty agreement were under the
consideration of the Persian Government.
There was a heavy fall in profits in 1931 w hich
the ersian Government had several times been forewarned),
but this, the company says, ’‘did not affect aversely the
Persian Government alone, nor does it afford any justi
fication for the claim of the Persian Government that it
has the right to cancel the Concession on the faith 01
which so much money and work has been expended".
REPLY TO BRITISH PROTEST ,
Teheran, Deer.6.
The Persian Government’s reply to the protest which
the British Minister made on behalf of his C40vernment on
December 2 was delivered yesterday. It is understood that
the Persia# Note is similar in substance to the reply made
to the Anglo- Persian Oil company on December 1. in t.iat
reply the Persian Government maintained that, it was ruiiy
justified in annuling the concession, and declared that
this was its final decision.
The Shah, who, with the members of the cabinet, is
attending a Turcoman race meeting in ’ azanderan, is
expected to return to Teheran next Sunday.
