en France des changements survenus dans Notre Pays ni fait effort pour
connaitre de facon plus juste le Nouvel Iran. Ces sentiments, dont la
presse fran^aise Nous apportait 1 4cho, Nous ont incite a rompre les rela
tions entre Nos deux Pays et a remettre leur retablissement a un moment
ou la France se montrerait d 6 sireuse d’apprecier Notre Pays sous son vrai
jour.
Cependant, en consideration du respect que Nous 6 prouvons a regard
de Votre Excellence, Nous sommes tout dispose a laisser dans Foubli le passd
et a retablir les relations diplomatiques.
Nous attendons de Votre Excellence, dont les bonnes intentions sont
manifestos, qu’Elle porte une attention speciale a ce. que ces relations soient
fondees sur une base solide et confiante, celle d’une meilleure connaissance
mutuelle, afin que I’avenir Nous epargne le retour d’aussi deplorables inci
dents.

With reference to Mr. Butler’s despatch No. 93-E. of the 9th March,
1938 TS. No. (27) in F. 7-N./38], I have the honour to transmit to Your
Lordship herewith extracts from the ‘Journal de Tehran' giving details
and estimates of the budget for the Iranian year 1318 (22nd March, 1939 to-
the 21st March, 1940), which was approved by the Majlis on the 5th March.
2. For the first time since 1928-29 a deficit is revealed, which is larger
than the total expenditure in 1928-29. Estimates of expenditure in the
coming year, apart from credits from state reserves in sterling, amount of
Rials 2,613,481,987 (£32,668,525 at the official rate of Rials 80 to the £)
and Revenue is estimated at Rials 1,930,096.700 (£24,126,210), leaving a
deficit of Rials 683,385,287 (£8,542,316).
3. On the Revenue side, it will be noted that receipts from the Sugar
and Tea Monopoly Tax, as well as the Road Tax, are now included in the
ordinary budget, increasing the revenue from Customs and from Monopolies.
4. Comparative lists of the chief sources of revenue and of the chief
headings of expenditure herewith transmitted show the increases over the
figures of the previous budget. Attention may be drawn to the estimated
increase in indirect taxation, though direct taxation remains at the same
figure. Estimated revenue from Industries is increased by Rials 20,000.000
from the tar and sleeper
factory
An East India Company trading post.
