Furthemore my house and the Consulate are closely
watched day and night. My servants even complain that people,
especially Bahreinis and Iraqis are afraid of being seen
talking to them in the "bazar. It is therefore very difficult
for anyone to come to see me,
I anticipate that the local chief of police, who has
never yet paid the smallest attention to the Governor's orders
and indeid scarcely treats him with ordinary respect, will still
6
endeavour surreptiously to worry dticeni these unfortunate Bahreini
He evidently hopes "by surrounding me with his spies and by
intimidating all Bahreinis and 'Iraqis who come to see me to
render me powerless to intervene,
I cannot therefore urge too strongly the absolute
necessity of inducing the Persian Government to allow Kaji Hamid
to return to carry on his trade in Mohammerah. In my opinion
this, this alone, can prove to Bahreinis in particular and
British protected persons in general that British protection
still stands for something in this part of the worlds
Secondly I am convinced that so long as irresponsible
police officials suffering from acute anglophobia complicated
are allowed to remain in Abadan and
Mohsanmerah so long will there be a succession of incidents
calculated to embitter relations between ourselves and the
Persians.
I therefore request that representation be made to
the Central Government to secure the removal or promotion of
these 1 zealous' off icials,
I have the honour to be.
Sir,
Your most obedient servant.
^ Captain,
Acting British Vice-Consul,
