cxoeeflea that of the former r«ar by Tons I ,(X)C t OCttUr i&ehti ^
rtf Mr Bahn«ma mentioned in their speeches formerly u point in
this oonneotion whioh Impressed me mudh. l"hoy Ks^rxsbso: 8ai6 that
there my have been a political design in not paying the
real royalties to Persia in order Ism that Persia may have less
foreign exchange whioh she oan employ for the purohase of
certain necessary things, his conpled with the fact that
the Persian Govt did not have any right for sttpervision of the
accounts entitled Persia to caacell the concoesion. I wish to
reiterate once more that um we have no ill-will a ainet the
British Govt or the Company; we are only dernamlin^ onr legiti
mate right. Another condition xtoac^adtrt of the concession
violated by the Company was that It did not comply with the
laws of the country (It ia correct). Xhe Income Tax was enacted
by the* Hajlese but the A. P. 0. refused to pay this tax and
did not obey the ersian law. ihe company did not even act
according to the terras cf the concession. I want to mmtion
another point here with which Brinee ^fcar the honourable
member of the Honae is the more acquainted than the others. The
corruption of the previous donrt led the Persian people towards
the year 1324 of the lunar era to demand and obtain the
present constitutioml regime. Ever since the start of this
regime every party or association which carse into existence
in the country had the cacellation of this concession amon^ its
ideal programme (it is correct). I have printed forms with this
point in them. There were many other items in the programme
such as the abrogation of the capltu&atofy rights of foreigners
etc etc. m Article £4 of the fundamental Law of the Country
reouires that all concessions should be passed by the I'ajl ess
and I state it here in loud voice that the . ajlet^a not only
did never recc^nisc this concession but it did oanoell thle
ccnc^ssion ±nxtlrsyT.K&T.Itsm two session before this (it is correct),
vhere is another point which oarcurred to me just now. I cannot
recollect clearly whether it was in the 4th or the 5th tescrm
of the Majlese that a certain person put a quest ion to the
