Article 14 of the concession guards must be arranged by Persian Government
and according to Article 3 ownership of land to be worked must first be settled
with Governor-General to ascertain whether it is Government or private
property. Therefore agreement between Company and the Kashkulis which
infringes these articles must be null and void and Prince is to inform
Consulate accordingly. Finally Prime Minister asks for copy of agreement.
There is no mention of Soulat in the telegram which adds that you have been
similarly notified.
