that Hie Ilajesty's Government would not wish, if they could
possibly avoid it, to press the Company to forego the
possibility of boring outside the three mile limit in conditions
giving them a reasonable assurance of exclusive possession. He
wondered whether? in order to make it as easy as possible for

that in certain places the boundaries of the concession area or
areas were "the limits of Persian territorial waters". It was,

at six or ten or even twenty miles. Such a formula would guard
the Company against all eventualities. In any case he would
like to give the matter further consideration.

formula could be found and said that they also w jald give it

mention of the "limits of territorial waters" would be

as too vague, or else claim that it meant that the whole of the
twelve mile (or at least six mile) limit was included in the
concession areas - which might swallow up a lot of the 100,000
square miles.

boundary of their area at the mouth of the Sh.tt-el-Arab, seeing
that the frontier was delimited only as far as a point just
