BRITISH LSGATIOTT,
18th April, 1939
With reference to my despatch No. 114 3 of
.he 15th April, I have the honour to report that I yesterday
spoke to my Iietherland colleague about the new Dutch
concession. I said that I had noticed that the Southern
area of the concession might possibly "be held to include
the Islands of Tamb and Bumusa, as the Iranian Government
claimed these as part of their territory and would
consequently regard them as Iranian Islands lying within
the defined area. I did not supnose that the Company,
with so large an area to cover, would "be interested
in small islands, especially as red oxide was excluded,
but I thought it might be well to remind him that these two
islands were not Iranian, and that it would not be
possible for a foreign company to work there, in the
unlikely event of their wishing to, under a concession
granted by the Iranian Government.
2# Monsieur Buttingha Wichers said that, from what he
had heard while the concession was being negotiated, he
thought it unlikely that the Company would take any
interest in the Islands, except for Qishim Island. He
undertook, however, as soon as any of the Dutch managers
returned to this country, to pass on to them what I had said
about Tamb and Bumusa. In the circumstances I do not
think there is any danger of the conpany being tempted
to interfere with the islands.
