by H.M. G. and by India. For certain reasons India has
in fact been paying rather more (about £3,000) than
H.M.G. After the war India attempted to secure a
readjustment of incidence on the ground that Imperial
and Indian interests had come to bear a proportion
different from what had obtained in 1900. The leading
papers of the correspondence are:-
Government of India’s despatch of 13th July, 1922
(P.3135/22)
India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. letter to Foreign Office of 7th March 1923

Foreign Office letter to India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. of 14th July 1924
(P.2959/24)

Lord Birkenhead’s letter to Sir A.Chamberlain of
4th April, 1927, and Sir A. Chamberlain’s reply
of 11th April, 1927.
The question has lain dormant from 1927 until recently.
For a convenient summary of the history of the subject
reference may be made to the brief pugpared for Lord
Birkenhead in March 1927. It may also be found convenienl
to recite here the outlines of the various proposals whiclj
have been put forward since 1922 dov/n to the Government o:
India’s present letter. They are as follows
Government of India’s proposals. July 1922 (put to
Foreiim Office. March 1925) .
The ratio of British to Indian interests in
Persia had changed since 1900 and was such as to justify
a redivision of financial liability by which India would
pay only one-third of Persian d. and c. expenditure.
To avoid perpetuating the administrative
disadvantages inherent in any system of divided control
India proposed that the Consulates in Southern and Easte:
Persia, v/hich were staffed by India, should be maintained
wholly at India’s cost, and that India should pay one-
third of the cost of Bushire and the Tehran Legation.
