Telegram R.
From Resident, Bushire.
To H.M's. Minister, Tehran.
No. 120/736.
Dated 26th November 1925.
.
Your despatch No. 54. (
Vice-Consul, Muhamraerah reports that Persian
Foreign Office has (in effect) ordered Customs Department to
issue Ilm o Khahar (Persian Certificates of Identity) to
natives of Bahrain travelling between Persian ports including
Bahrain : also to confiscate British Certificates of Identity
and to issue Persian passports in lieu to those who may be
proceeding to foreign ports.
I submit that mention of compromise made in
paragraph 4 of your despatch No. 54 is misleading as Persian
Government by their orders clearly re-assert their claim that
•Bahrain is Persian territory.
Hitherto we have under protest allowed Persian
Government to issue Ilm o Khabar to Persians and Bahrainis
proceeding to Bahrain and to fine arrivals from there without
such papers because inter alia (l) Bahrain Government has not
intiroduced its own passport system (2) Shaikh Isa would have
objected to issue of British passports to his subjects
(3) We have failed to persuade Persian Government to modify
their attitude and to issue real passports to Persians for
Bahrain (4) these Persian ^Laax^iarix certificates are
cheaper than passports.
I fear that recent order has not ameliorated
the political position and think that it should be accepted
only under protest as a temporary measure.
.
It seems to me that we should try to reduce
the number of Bahrain subjects in Persia and Persian subjects
in Bahrain by ruthlessly rejecting the nationality claims of
those who have practically severed connection with their
country
