that the substitution of British Consular Officers for
Officers of Indian Services would result in a definite
deterioration of conditions of life for Indian subjects
in Iran which are at present none too good. It would also
result to a great extent in loss of knowledge here as
to conditions in Persia which would re-act unfavourably
on Indo* Iranian Trade and other relations. Hugessen f s
suggestion that the Govt, of India should supply subordi
nate officers to work under Members of the British
Consular Service does not seem to us at all practicable or
desirable, though there might be no objection to a Member
of the For. & Pol. Dept, being included among the staff
•of H.M. T s Legation at Tehran.
My general feeling is that the only condition upon
which we could consent to a change in the present arrange
ments would be that we should be relieved entirely of all
charges for diplomatic and consular representation in
Persia except possibly for a few remaining posts for which
we might supply personnel. This would mean a considerable
addition to H.M. T s Govt. T s expenses and I am doubtful
whether this would be acceptable. However we shall be
addressing you officially on bhe whole subject when we see
Hugessen T s suggestions. <«e are at present examining the
question whether it would be possible for Military Political
Officers
