PERSIA—APPENDIX NO. XXI—1888.
APPENDIX No. XXL
Translation of a Persian Circular announcing the Opening of the Karun
River from Mohammerah to Ahwaz. 30th October 1888.
The Persian Government, with a view to the extension of commerce and wealth
in her provinces and the progress of agriculture in Khuzistan and Ahwaz, has
ordered that commercial steamers of all nations, without exception, besides sailing
vessels which formerly navigated the Karun River, undertake the transport oi
merchandise in the Karun River from Mohammerah to the Dyke at Ahwaz; but
it is on the condition that they do not pass the Dyke at Ahwaz upwards, as from
the Dyke upwards the river navigation is reserved to the Persian Government itsell
and its subjects, and the tolls which the Persian Government will organize shall be
paid at Mohammerah. Such vessels are not to carry goods prohibited by the
Persian Government, and vessels are not to stay longer than necessary for the
unloading and loading of commercial loads.
(24th Sefer 1303=30th October 1888.)
About this item
- Content
This part relates to the Government of India's decision to issue a revised edition of Aitchison's Treaties (full title: A Collection of Treaties, Engagements and Sanads Relating to India and Neighbouring Countries ), with revised narratives for each geographical area covered, incorporating the principal events that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition in 1909.
The part concerns the revised narrative for the section regarding Persia [Iran], Seistan [Sistan], Kerman and Persian Baluchistan, and includes extensive interdepartmental correspondence (most of which is dated 1929-1931) discussing the contents of the revised narrative, as well as the question of which treaties and agreements to include alongside it.
The correspondence goes on to cover the requirement for a fresh proof of the revised narrative, following the Government of India's decision (made in consultation with His Majesty's Government) to defer its publication, in order to include references not only to recent events but also to further developments that are expected in the near future.
Most of the part is made up of a copy of the second proof of the revised narrative (ff 24-41) together with copies of numerous related treaties, agreements and correspondence covering the period 1763-1928 (ff 42-216), of which a significant amount is written in French.
The main correspondents are the following: the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India; the British Legation, Tehran; officials of 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. , Foreign Office, Colonial Office, and the Government of India's Foreign and Political Department.
