(Confidential.)
Admiralty, November 12, 1928.
I AM commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit,
for the information of the Acting Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a
report by the Commander-in-chief, East Indies, on the state of affairs in the Persian
Gulf.
2. Copies of these reports have also been sent to the Colonial Office and India
Office.
3. I am to request that they may be furnished with your remarks on
paragraph 3 of Commander-in-chief's letter, a copy of which, together with
Enclosure 3, has been sent to the Board of Trade.

1HL enclosed report of proceedings from the senior naval officer,

,
is forwarded for the information of their Lordships. As this report deals with so
many questions concerning the diplomatic situation with Persia and with Arab
sheikhs, which are considered to call for the immediate attention of their Lordships,
it is forwarded separately from the periodical letter of proceedings of Commander-
in-chief, East Indies Station.
2. I rom all the reports received from the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
during the last six
months, it is apparent that by the continued delays in diplomatic channels the trust
hitherto reposed by the Arab sheikhs on the British Government, and even their
trust m the British navy, which they have regarded as their best friend is beino-
seriously undermined. Further, that the aggressive attitude of the Persian
authorities and private individuals in the Gulf is increasing, and that the lenothy
and apparently ineffectual method of dealing with it is damaging the prestige of
Great Britain in the eyes of both sheikhs and Persians.
. . 3 t ^ reference to enclosure 3 of the report, paragraph 3, it is hoped that
their Lordships will see fit to approach the British shipping companies with a view
to ensuring that British merchant ships in the
Persian Gulf

will adhere to the general
rule to prevent passengers carrying arms.

5. A further enclosure containing an appreciation of the general situation by
the senior naval officer is also included for their Lordships' information.
B. S. THESIGER, Commander-in-Chief.
