^ith regard to duty on drugs amd medical storea, wt
aider the health of the Staff is as imrortaat for the efffccieat
working of the Cables as stores, aad therefore the free importa
tion of drugs, is covered by the Agreement; and so cannot agree
with His Britannic Majesty's Minister Teheran's contention that
drugs are on the border line in determining whether they are
covered by the agreement or not; as. Article i;, para 2 clearly
states that the Persian Government will allow free of Customs
duties and all other taxes whatever the material and Apparatus
necessary to the good working of the landlines, Submarine Cab
les and Cable Stations,
Mr,3unker on his arrival at Bushire is going into the
matter thoroughly with the Residort, and states he strongly
disagrees entirely in the policy of paying duty and claiming
a refund. He will also report on Officer-in-Charge Bushire's
suggestion of the Company paying Dr.Naficy Teheran, who carried
out the registration of the Company with the Persian Government
being given a retaining fee for attending to the Company's work
at Teheran such as forwarding applications for permits. Licen
ces Registration etc.
This Section of the Company has been carrying out the
agreement with the Persian Government to the letter, but you
will see from the above, that the Persian Government do not
appear to be willing to carry out their part of the agreement,
as regards Importation of the Company's stores; so, we there
fore ask if you will kindly refer the matter to the Foreign
Office asking thee* help in this matter.
