claim to Bahrein which we are anxious to secure in the
Treaty, for sweetening the pill if we can. Further, if
Article I and the Notes appended thereto are, as we
understand, sufficient to establish beyond question the
recognition by Persia of the independence etc. of the
other Arab sheikhdoms on the Persian Coast, it is arguable
that that ought to be adequate in the case of Bahrein.
On the other hana, as you point out, the abandonment of

October, we attach great importance to establishing
positively Trucial sovereignty over Tamb and Abu Musa
