Clause 5 of the Memorandum of conditions
regarding the closing down of the I.E.T.D.
provides that "from the date of transfer of
the Gulf Cable and assets to Imperial Inter
national Communications Ltd. the Company will
undertake to maintain cable and wireless
communication in the Gulf".
V There are three BritichWireless Stations
in Persian Territory, viz., Lingah, Henjam
and Bushire. That at Lingah was closed down
last year and placed in charge of a custodian.
The other two are still functioning, and
responsibility for their maintenance rests
with I. and I.C.
V It is proposed ns pnrt of a satisfactory
Treaty settlement with Persia eventually to
transfer the apparatus at Lingah and the
Bushire Station to the Persian Government,
and to retain the Hen$am Station up to 1945
(or possibly longer) as the tenants of Persia.
Unfortunately the prospect of an early agree
ment with Persia on these lines is far from
hopeful.
4 *. ITo formal license has ever been granted,
by the Persian Government for the working of
these Stations. They have, however, been in
operation for many years with the full
knowledge of the Persian Government.
p, In 1927 the Persian Government
prohibited the importation of wireless sets
into Persia, and His Majesty 1 s Minister at
Tehran reported that this prohibition applied
to installations and accessories for the
I.E.T.L. Wireless Station..
