and the places in which she
unlustly interferes, and should not intervene or intrigue in
our internal affairs. The British Government does not observe
the conditions of friendship with us, Intrigues apon^: our
tribesmen openly, invites therm to riots and crime, protects
traitorous persons, does not fail to have resort to any
intrigue to render the proceedings of our brave soldiers futile
and tries to seize our productive Islands like Bahrain which

has the best pearl fishery in the world and tfes .an important/
in the Gulf, She has also taken from us the Abu Jfusa Island
which has the red oxide mine? made Henjam the place for the
■imprisonment of the Indian and-Mesopotamian lovers 6f freedom.
Still she expects us to observe the conditions of friendship
gompletely, and even objects to the nublic feelings being
roused against them. This is curious. In our opinion, the
policy which the Ministers of the Court of London have assumed
towards us and the Muhammadan countries is a wrong policy which
will not lead to the acquisition of their object. Their
diplomacy has become old: they should not compare the present
nations of the East with the peoples and time of Gladystone,
and until the British Government changes her old policy of
fraud and intrigu^-into a true and clear one, it will be
impossible for her to secure the confidence of the Eastern
nations.
To be brief, as we have already said, if the British
Government desires our friendship, she should obtain the good

will of the people of ^ersia by the evacuation of Bahrain and
the other Islands of the

recover her old friendly feelings of the Persian's; otherwise
the present policy of the diplomatists of the banks of the
Thames will constantly increase the Persians ? feelings of
disgust against England. This will flrradually become a natural
