September, 1935, about the furnishing of drug estimates for
Nepal and for Bahrain and other places on the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. ?
2. We have now received a letter from the Home Office
dated 4th
February of which I enclose a copy, stating that no estimates are
1936
submitted in respect of either Nepal or Bahrain, and des
cribing the procedure which is followed when drugs are ex
ported from the United Kingdom to these places. You will
see that ihey come to the conclusion that both Nepal and
, ^ Bahrain should be treated as Non-Convention Countries.
Article 2 (3) of the Drugs Limitation Convention of 1931 is
to the effect that estimates for such countries should either
be furnished by the countries themselves, at the request of
the Permanent Central Board, or failing this, that they
should be compiled by the Supervisory Board.
3. Either of these courses might lead to the establish
ment of closer relations than have existed hitherto between
these places and Geneva. We can see no objection to the
Secretariat of the League communicating with the Nepalese
Government requesting estimates, or since the foreign rela
tions of the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. States are conducted by His
Majesty's Government, to the League asking His Majesty^
Government to furnish them with estimates for Bahrain.
Since His Majesty's Government would oe conducting the cones-
pondence on behalf of Bahrain, the question of Bahrain be
coming a party to t he Convention could hardly arise. Similar
Considerations apply to the other Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. States and
