Mgr/JLW/K.
Dear Mr. Clauson,
We have now considered Mr. Laithwaite's letter of the 15th
instant in regard to the present attitude of the Persian authorities
on the matter of importation of stores into Persia by this Company
and as agreed during our telephone conversation I am addressing my
reply to you.
In broad principle we consider that all expenditure in con
nection with the upkeep of our Cables, Landlines and Branches in
the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
should fall within the exemption mentioned in
Article 4 (2) of the Telegraphs Agreement, whether such expenditure
represents telegraphic instruments, apparatus, technical items, or
general working expenses incurred in the maintenance of buildings
or official requirements for the health-maintenance of the staff.
We note that your latest communication from the Persian Government
fails to specify the categories of articles which they are not
prepared to admit free of duty and that the Persian Government now
desire this Company to submit a revised list of stores. The list
which was enclosed with Mr. Laithwaite’s letter has therefore been
carefully examined and the items allocated under the following
headings:
1. TELEGEAHI AND TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT, TELEGBAPH AND OTHER
OFFICIAL STATIONERY, ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION SUNDRIES.
We consider that these should unquestionably be granted free
exemption.
2. UPKEEP AND WINTER HEATING OF THE BUILDINGS AND STAFF
QUAiflEaS.
