,told Parr that we agree to a provision
in the proposed telegraphs agreement with Persia
whereby ’'The British and Persian Governments mutually
agree to cancel all debts and claims existing between
them in relation to telegraph matters”.
It was understood orally between us that the
insertion of the words ”and claims” in this phrase
would preclude His Majesty’s Government from pursuing
against the Persian Government claims of all kinds put
forward in the past by members of the Indo European
Telegraph Department. V/e are not sure of the number
or nature of these claims, but suspect that most of
them are on account of loss of property owing to
robbery or civil disturbances, in which case the
liability of the Persian Government to meet such claims
is at least open to doubt.
