Agreement. The position is briefly
that the Persians have officially
informed us that in tneir view it
applies only rt to those things which
are considered as telegraph
accessories ana which are essential
for the proper functioning of the
telegraph work* and we are advised that
as a matter of strict interpretation
it might he difficult to contest this
view. While it would, of course, he
possible to take the matter to
arbitration the risk that the decision
might not be in favour of the Company
cannot be overlooked ana the reference
in any event could not fail to involve
expenditure. In these circumstances^
unless (which I understand from you
is not the case) any large sum is
involved, there seems nothing for it
but to acquiesce in the Persian
contention ana to pay auty on goods
such as medical material, personal
effects, etc.

The correspondence focuses on the payment of customs duty on materials imported by I&ICL, and efforts to negotiate an exemption of the payment of duty with the Persian Government. The file’s principal correspondents are: various representatives of I&ICL; HM’s Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary A diplomatic representative who ranks below an ambassador.
