Im-portation of stores of Gable and.
Wireless into Persia .
Tou will remember that at the time of our discussion
v/ith Captain Lawson on 31st January last (P. Z. 664/35),
we had just heard from Tehran by telegram that the Persian
Government had addressed a note to the Legation agreeing to
the refund of dues and taxes levied on the stores imported by
I. & I• C. betv*een March, 1931 and March 1934, a list of which
had been communicated to the Persians by Sir R. Hoare on 5th
March, 1934, ''except in respect of such goods as medical
material, personal effects and stores, which are not
included under Article IV(2) of the Telegraphs Agreement".
We understood from Captain Lawson that Cable and Wireless
would be prepared to acquiesce in a somewhat stricter
interpretation of Article IV(2) of the Telegraphs Agreement
so as to "CXclude medical material etc., and in the payment
of duty on such articles as might reasonably be regarded as
excluded from exemption by such an interpretation. Captain
Lawson suggested that if the Company knew positively to what
articles the Persians took objection they could then draw up
specimen lists and arrange their consignments accordingly, and
it was agreed that we should wait for the text of the Persian
note in the hope that it might indicate in detail the articles
on which the Persians refused to grant exemption.
The Persian note was received as an enclosure to the
Foreign Office letter of 1st Msjj^at P.Z. 1449/35. The note
stated that the Persian authorities had divided the listrof
stores enclosed in Sir R. Hoare's note to the Persian
Government/
