or at any rate non-MosXeasj, were originally unable to
hold real property at all. Article $ of the Kusso-Perslan
Commercial Treaty of 1826 however gave RuaBlan aub .lects
the right to own property In Persia for their residences
and warehouses. Through the operation of aost-fawoured-
nation clnuses Article 5 becaae the charter for all
foreigners In Persia to own property for their own
re idential nnd business purposes, (but for no other).
5m The general prohibition seen* to have been
disregarded, however, and on January 29th, 1931, the

U foreigners to dispose of their agricultural property
(see K (1931)* This law only gave the
foreigner three nonths in which to do so, but contained
1 guards (in theory at any rate) to ensure
that he received a proper price.

frow that of Bahralnls In Persia, In that the former
will have some choice as to their nationality and the
latter have had none (but have at the same time had no
<Uftlcuity about seeping their property if they accepted
the outward and visible signs of Persian nationality). But
It would be fair that such Persians as elect to retain
their own nationality under the new Bahralnl nationality law
juld be fillowed to dispose of their real property on terms
