§ Sir P. RICHARDSONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Persian Government has confiscated private property in North Persia; and will he assure himself that no menace to British interests in Persia is involved in such confiscation?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINThe Twelfth Quarterly Report of the Administrator General of the Finances of Persia states that the Persian Ministry of Finance took over certain properties owned by Persian subjects on account of non-payment of taxes. There, is no reason to believe that any British interests are affected.
