have already (September 1928) officially communicated
to the Persians the text of our exclusive agreement
of 1892 with the Trucial Sheikhs. The provisions of
our agreement of 1899 with the Sheikh of Koweit were
mentioned to them at an earlier stage in 1925 (P.Z.2527/25 |

establish a Persian Consulate in the Sheikh f s territories

substance in his objections (which Colonel Fowle was
not inclined to take seriously). Admittedly the
Persians have not yet formally recognised the independent

of the objects of our treaty negotiations to persuade
them to do so. On the other hand, particularly now that
the advent of the Persian Navy has given rise to a
series of incidents necessitating protests arising out
of our special treaty relations with the Arab Sheikhdoms,
there seems everything to be said for placing on record
at Teheran, particularly in response to a Persian
interest in the matter, the more important of our
engagements with the rulers concerned.
