CONFIDEHTIAL.
Wo. 135/446-S. of 1929.
British Kcsidency and Consulate-General,
Buahire, 16th September 1929.
Sir,
I have the honour to forward a copy of a
report, Mo. 2/29/1091 of the 14th September 1929, receiT-
ed from the Vice-consul at Mohammerah regarding the
harassment of the Bahrainis at that port, and the de
portation of their leader Haji lUmid.
In pursuance of the Minister of Court*8.pro
mise to you (mentioned in your telegram ao. 117 of the
11th September 1929) orders have been issued to did-
continue the harassment of the Bahrainis, but it would
appear that the cancellation of any deportation orders
passed against Haji Hamid is necessary before the status
quo «an be considered to have been restored.
It will be seen that Captain i'letcher further
complains that he himself, his staff and the Consulate
are closely watched day and night. he informs me that
he now knows his guards very well by sight.j-^
C^K state of affairs such as this cannot fail to
have an extremely bad effect on the Arab coast of the
Gulf, where we rely so largely on our prestige to main
tain our position. I recommend therefore that if you
see fit, the attention of the rersian Government should
be called to a situation vtoich, if it has not alreadydone
so/
