\\ ith reference to Mr. Butler’s despatch No. 226 E. [S. No. (59)] of the
14th June, 1938, on the subject of the mines which are now being operated
at Anarak, I have the honour to report that the German press Attache
has informed the Commercial Secretary that the three year concession grant
ed to the German group Ferrostahl in 1937, for the exploitation of the nickel
and copper mines, was suddenly cancelled by the Iranian Government a few
days ago. No reason or excuse was apparently given.
2. M. Aderholt further informed M. Cumberbatch that, although they
were taken by surprize, the Germans were not really worried, as they were
more especially interested in nickel and had found this ore in insufficient
quantity. Transport was difficult and costly and generally speaking the
concession was not a paying one.

ment of India in the External Affairs Department, and to the Department of
Overseas Trade.
