the 21st November, 1935 in which he gave it as his opinion
that the cost of a separate Vice-Consul at Zabul was not justified
I do not know how much importance the Government of India
attach to (b) but the formation which we can collect under |>fcesent
circumstances is scanty and unreliable* There remains (c) and
this is an aspect of the case the importance of which I am unable
at present to estimate*
4* It does, however, seem to me that it might be possible to
effect considerable economies either by leaving the appointments
temporarily vacant, with a clerk in charge as proposed in Daly’s
telegram No. 400 referred to above, or by doubling them up as 1
believe has been done in the case of Kerman and Bandar Abbas* I
do not know the exact arrangements that have been made there,
but of the two alternatives I prefer the second. Assuming that
O’Connor arrives as M.O* and is given a licence to practise
privately in East Iran (so that the question of his becoming
Vice-Consul as before does not arise) I think that the simplest
solution would be for the Vice-Consul Zahidan to hold additional
charge of Zabul and for the Vice-Consul Meshed to do the same at
Blrjand. I do not know whether they could be properly accredited
at those two places; if not they could be in temporary charge of
Consular duties.
5. If this idea meets with approval I would work out details
and submit proposals officially* There need be no great diffi
culty as regards personnel. Fry could be transferred to Meshed
in the spring (I recommend that this should be done in any case)
and take charge of Meshed and Birjand, and Campbell at »5 SSl could
look after Sabul. Incidentally Campbell tells me that he wants
to go on four months leave in the middle of October and would like
to return to Zahidan in February or March. I hope that this
will be permissible as his experience there is most valuable, and
we have yet to find any other officer who is both useful and con
tented there. Fry also proposes to apply for leave in the spring
of 1938. If therefore Fry could be replaced at Meshed in the
autumn and take over at Zahidan until Campbell returns, no
