Dear Monteagle,
With reference to our conversation last week
I write to say that Barstow rang me up a few days ago on his
return from Persia and asked me how the negotiations for a
Persian Treaty were going. He was still concerned about the
Persian Government ’ s claim to income-tax in respect of that
portion of their revenue which is derived from operations in
Persia; he was evidently afraid that Persia might cause
considerable embarrassment both to his Company and to His
Majesty’s Government by pressing their claim; and he wondered
whether the opportunity might not be taken of the general
negotiations to get the position settled in our favour.
(1) Have you heard anything further from Clive on the
income-tax question? The last we had from you was your
letter to me of 12th December 1929 (E 5602/703/34).
(2) Subject to your views, we are disposed to think that,
if Olive has not yet offered the Persians the further
reduction contemplated in our v r ar and post-war debt (beyond the
£1 million already offered), he should be told not to agree
to any further reduction except in return for a suitable
agreement on the income-tax question. (For the present at
least he need not divulge to them what we have in mind).
Ibe income-tax question may be of considerable importance from
tbe £. s. d. point of view; and if it is linked up with the
other points in dispute in Taymourtache ’s mind, it would seem
a mis take to surrender any of our cards in advance.
