air,
In reply to your despatch No. 469
(E 5961/646/34) of the 18th October last concerning the
importation of stores by the Imperial and International
Communications Company, I have the honour to report that
a search of the correspondence in the archives of His
Majesty^ Legation would appear to indicate that the question
of the interpretation to be placed on Article 4 (2) of the
Agreement of the 17th February, 1932, did not arise until
after the receipt of your predecessor^ telegram No. 133
of the 12th August, 1931, authorising the submission to the
Persian Government of the French draft text of the agreement.
As difficulties were being experienced at the, time over the
importation of stores, the question was considered whether
it would not be advisable to press the Persian Government to
widen the scope of the clause either by interpretation or
by amendment of the text, but in order to avoid delay Mr.
Dodd decided to submit the draft text as it stood and then
refer the matter to the Marquess of Reading, which he did
in his despatch No. 482 of the 9th September, 1931.
2. Later, in reply to Lord Reading's telegram
No. 161 of the 22nd October, 1931, Sir R.H. Hoars maintained,
in his despatch No. 666 of the 21st November, 1931, that the
only satisfactory solution would be to amend the text of the
article, but that the adoption of this course would not be
worth while on account of the delay involved. As the other
The Right Honourable
