From the Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs, addressed to
His Majesty's Charge d 1 Affaires. Dated Azer 26th, 1309
(17th Dsoember, 1930). Ho.26041/7101214.
Monsieur le Charge d'Affaires,
According to information received, which
has also "been reproduced in the papers. Colonel Biscuit
(Biscoe), the consul-General of the honourable British
Government in Bushire had, at the time of his arrival at
Bahrein, made the following statement to Persian merchants
there in the course of his private meeting with them;-
"Bahrein is (an) independent (State) and you, who for more
"than 30 years are living in Bahrein are, in accordance with
"the rules in force, considered as subjects of Bahrein..,"
The Persians have been very much affected by
this statement.
(It is also reported that) on Aban 7th (29th
October 1930) when the Consul-Greneral had gone to inspect
the Government departments in Bahrein, he (the Gonsul-
General) had instructed that the Persian staff (employees)
should be dismissed from the departments.
He (the Consul-General) (is also said to
have) had long private conversations with a Persian
Mujtahed called Sheikh Aya which, as conjectured by
correspondents (sic), form part of a series of activities
started by the Oonsul-General aiming at annihilating the
rights of Persia and Persians.
While taking the foregoing into view, you
will see tha^ apart from the fact that such acts are
entirely in contravention with the maintenance of "Status
quo", to which you make an allusion in your note of Aban
13th (4th November 1930), the dismissal of Persians from the
/Government
