10. I emphasised to Kuri the great mutual interest Yfhioh
hoth Iraq and Persia had in securing close co-operation in
the control of the Shatt. I repeated the well-known arguments
about the precarious condition of the Shatt and the urgent
necessity for controlling and regulating tne flow oa the
waters of the Karun. This could only be done with Persian
co-operation. The position was in fact that if the Iraqis
did not secure Persian co-operation they might well lose the
use of the Shatt altogether, while if the Persians refusea
to co-operate with the Iraqis, they would probably lose the
use of both MO hammer ah and Abadan. ' The question was not
really a political one at all, but one of practical common
sense for settlement by technical methods. This was a further
reason for British participation, as tne two parties
be sure that the British representatives on the Board would
work whole-heartedly for the proper maintenance and management
of the waterway. In any case, as both parties were aware,
His Majesty's Government had the best of reasons for claiming
an equal share in the management of this waterway, seeing
the shipping which would be controlled by
that practically all tne snrppj-^o
the Board was British.

About this item
- Content
This volume is a continuation of Collection 17/5, and contains papers regarding negotiations between Persia [Iran] and Iraq at the League of Nations in 1935, mediated by Italian delegate Baron Pompeo Aloisi. The papers primarily consist of communications regarding the negotiations submitted to the Foreign Office by HM Ambassadors at Rome, Teheran and Baghdad, as well as comments by 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. Political Department, the Admiralty, and representatives of the Governments of Persia, Iraq, and Italy.
The negotiations concerned the frontier line along the Shatt el-Arab, the possibility of granting a Persian anchorage at Abadan [Ābādān], the rights of Persian and British warships to traverse and refuel on the river, and the proposed establishment of a Conservancy Board. Following negotiations in Geneva, Rome and Tehran, the Persian and Iraqi Governments had practically agreed on three instruments: a pact of non-aggression, to be signed by Iraq, Persia and Turkey; a treaty for the peaceful settlement of international disputes between Persia and Iraq; and a treaty of friendship, which would settle the frontier question and establish the Conservancy Board.
In addition to the correspondence, the volume contains: documents circulated by the Council of the League of Nations; Reports on the Sessions of the Council submitted to the Foreign Office by C J Edmonds, Second Adviser to the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs; multiple drafts of the treaty of friendship and non-aggression treaties; and copies of notes exchanged by the Iraqi and Persian Ministers at the League of Nations. A number of these documents are written in French.
