Sir,
In continuation of my No# 713 .0- 27th October
1928 I have the honour to forward a communication I
have just rocoivtd from the Adviser t© Sheikh Earned, on
the subject of Persian passports and Ilm-o-Kh?.bar.
I quite agree that it is wrong^on principle^to
permit Persians and especially Bahroinis^travelling on
Ilm-©-Khabars granted by Persian authorities to enter
Bahrein.
The issue of Ilm-o-Khabars was however started
long before the war and in 1913, in order save trouble,
HaJ or Trevor who was'Political /vgent at Bahrein commenc-
-ed endorsing them to show that the holder had actuci-ly
arrived in Bahrein.
We cannot therefore pretend that v /e have
hitherto had no official information of the Persian
practice of regarding Bahrein as a port of Persia.
At the same time the recent Persian claims havi
inflamed the Al Khalifa against the Persian Government
and they wish to take strong action to show their
emphatic rebuttal of Persian pretensions.
The decision of which I have now boen ii 'oriuea,
through Mr. Bclgrave, was reached after fumilj council
and I havr to request that I rmy be instructed T.rtetl er
I ton to let matters twice their court-t er an tc> advlet
