6. The following is a summary of the action which a consular officer newly
posted to Iran, is advised to take before leaving for his post :—
{a) He should inform the Legation as early as possible by which fron
tier post he intends to enter the country, giving the approximate
date on which he expects to reach it.
(b) He should inform the Legation of any goods which he intends to
import, giving details as indicated in section I. This should
be done as long as possible before the goods are expected to
arrive. If time allows, he should arrange with his post for the
submission to the Legation of applications for import licences
in the usual form.
(c) Give details in ample time of any articles mentioned in Section 2,
and of any consignment of tobacco which he will not have with
him on arrival.
7. The above applies primarily to Consular officers posted to the provinces.
The case of those who are members of the Legation staff is different, since they
enjoy diplomatic status. Their period of franchise is therefore not limited
to nine months, and they are exempt from the monopoly dues mentioned in
Section 3. They must, however, obtain import licences, and consulau officers
expecting to proceed to Tehran are advised to follow the instructions given in
the preceding paragraph.

With reference to Mr. Seymour’s telegram No. 26 fS. No. (15)] of the
25th February, reporting the death of Monsieur Samiy, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, I have the honour to inform you that His Excellency Monsieur Adh
Under-Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Personalities in Iran,
1937, No. 3), who recently acted as President of the Council of the League
of Nations at Geneva, has been appointed Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs.
2. A well-informed colleague recently told His Majesty’s Minister that
Monsieur Adi stood little chance of being made Minister for Foreign Affairs.
He is regarded as being of official or legal, rather than of ministerial timber.
3. I am sending a copy of this despatch to the Secretary to the Govern
ment of India in the External Affairs Department and to His MajestyV
Representative at Baghdad. J

Letter from H. M.’s Minister, Tehran, to the Foreign Office, London
No. 64 (79/3/38), dated the 18th February 1938.
I have the honour to transmit to you herewith a translation of a Decree
governing the formation and activities of clubs and similar institutions in
Tran, which was passed by the Council of Ministers on the 27th December,
1937. The restrictions which it imposes are much more severe than those
hitherto in force.
2. It will be seen that the measure provides in detail for complete
police control of all club activities and that any sort of political discussion is
categorically prohibited.
