2 . With regard to paragraph 3 of your despatch under
reference the question of the inclusion of an account of the
activities of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company has been dis
cussed by a member of my staff with the Resident Director
here. Mr. Jacks is of the opinion that only the first
five lines of this account should be published, it would
therefore end at the words "five hundred thousand square
miles"; He suggests that possibly the following sentence
might be added: "In 1909 a Company, known as "The Anglo-
Persian Oil Company", was formed to take over and operate
the Concession". Mr. Jacks reason for suggesting tne
deletion of the remainder of the summary given in your
draft is that any reference to agreements concluded with t
tribal chiefs has only a hearing on the internal operation
of the Concession and now that the Persian Government has
. extended its authority to all parts of Persia under which
the concession operates these subsidiary contracts ha
become null and void and are no longer recognised by the
Persian Government. It is indeed possible that snoai. t„
latter ever come t° learn that these agreements figure m
a more or less official publication they would be somewhat
irritated. In the circumstances therefore you will no
doubt agree to adopt his suggestions
I have, etc .,

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.
