■ iiij Cct, Kov/elt and o^ the King of the Hejaz, but so far as
this office is aware they still remain in force in respect
of subjects of Bahrein. Without suggesting that it is necessari
ly clsElrable at present to take up this point with the Persiai
Government, Lord Birkenhead would be glad to learn whether
Sir Austen Chamberlain dissents from the view that a subject
of ijt.hrein which, though not formally a British protectoratei
has been repeatedly declared by His Majesty's Government to
be under Protection and the foreign relations of which
are under^control- is entitled to hold a British passport as
a British-protected person. The grant of such passports to
Bahreinis would be the natural counterpart of the arrangement
vhich was on he point of being introduced in 1923 (see your
letter- "o. E. 1485/67/91, dated the 14th February 1923) under
v ,j ;ic;-i Persian subjects proceeding to Bahrein would be re
quired to provide themselves with a British pass or visa.
4 " lhe a,00ve considerations appear to Lord Birkenhead
to invalidate the inference drawn in paragraph 2 of your
letter, that it would be impolitic to protest against the
confiscation of British certificates of identity by the
Persian authorities. Moreover, in the only recent case of
such confiscation that is on record (see enclosure to this
0±j.lce letter p.73 of the 20th Januaiy 1926) when identity
certixicate carried by two Bahrein subjects travelling from
Banrein to Debai were confiscated by a Persian passport
officer at Lingah, there would seem to have been no doubt
hauever respecting the title of the holders to the possession
of these certificates. In view of the rarity of cases of con
fiscation of British papers and of Sir P.Loraine's statement
/(see his letter of lOt^Tune to Lieut. Col. Prideaux. copy
enclosed with your letter T.8352/235/378 of the 9th July)that
"it does not seem that such incidents are due to more than
excess of zeal on the part of local authorities, nor do I antl
cipate that they will be frequently repeated", it would appear
that matters have not yet gone so far that the alternative.
