Commercial Secretariat,

Tehran.
29th November, 1943.
Sir,
I have the honour to enclose a copy of a Savingram,
No. 143 of the 5th October 194o, to the Foreign Office which
discusses action to be taken now to facilitiate British
propaganda in Persia. It represents the views of the Commercial
Secretariat and the Public Relations Bureau of this Legation
and the British Council in Persia. The Middle Fast Supply Centre,
Tehran, have also been good enough to give their views, which
are incorporated in this communication.
2. Copies of this Savingram have been sent also to H.M.
Consular Officers in Persia, who were invited to furnish their
observations. The enclosed copy of a despatch from H.M.Consul at
Khorramshahr is in reply to that circular. It is forwarded as
being ot possible interest to the Department in connection with
post-war commercial conditions in Persia. There is little
doubt that Khorramshahr, due to the extensive development that
has taken place there for war purposes, will in future be the
principal port of entry for goods coming to Persia.
I have the honour to be with the
highest respect.
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
(SGD) A. N. CUMBERBATCH
Commercial Secretary.
His Majesty’s Principal Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs,
DEPART!.! ENT OF OVERSEAS TRADE.
