' I feel that you should have a record of the
conclusions we reached, as far as we were able to go,
regarding possible discussions with Kazemi and his delegation.
The subjects were
1. the troubles of British subjects in East
Iran and the difficulties of our Consuls.
2. the possibility of Kazemi raising the
subject of frontier definition.
3. The Duzdap Railway.
4. Commercial Questions.
5. The Vice Consular rank of Major Pyper.
6. Visas for Lorry Drivers operating on the
international Lahedan Nok Kundi Road.
As regards point 1 I suggested that we should take the
line that, anxious as we were to be friendly and helpful
on any matters which Kazemi wanted to raise, we felt very
strongly that before anything could be done we must ask
them to remedy these grievances. We indicated this in
. a telegram to the
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.
No.3141 of November 20th,
I enclose a copy. I asked the Viceroy to rub this in when
he saw Kazemi and I drew up a note for him for the purpose.
I enclose a copy for record: it is much the same as the
letter I wrote to Soheily (see my despatch No.570 of 26th
December). Actually we had to change our tactics a little
at the last moment owing to Kazemi’s refusal to talk
