(ii)
(Paragraph 132)
Letter, dated August 19 1930, from the High Commissioner in Iraq to the
Iraqi Minister for Foreign Affairs
In the course of our conversations on the subject of the immunity from
taxation enjoyed by the Sheikhs of Mohammerah and Koweit in respect of their
date gardens in Iraq, your Excellency and I discussed the method of dealing with
this matter in the list of international obligations devolving upon Iraq under
article 8 of the Treaty of Alliance signed on the 30th June, 1930, which I have
undertaken to communicate to your Excellency before the Iraq Parliament is
invited to approve of the ratification of the treaty. As I have informed your
Excellency, His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom approve of your
proposal that the Iraq Government should open private negotiations with the
sheikhs for the purchase of their properties in Iraq.
It is possible, however, that these negotiations may not have reached finality
before the time comes for me to communicate the above list to the Iraq
Government. In such event. His Majesty's Government propose to insert mention
of the obligation towards the sheikhs in the list, but at the same time to append
a footnote to the effect that private negotiations are proceeding with a view to the
liquidation of this obligation, and that, if these are unsuccessful, the question will
need to be discussed further between the two Governments.
I shall be glad to learn from your Excellency that this procedure will be
acceptable to the Iraq Government,
I have, &c.
F. H, HUMPHRYS.
