During this part of conversation I tried to get Minister to
admit that we had urged Persian Government to say what they wanted
in Shatt -al»Arab (apart from unpracticable far-fetched rectifi
cation), At the end of interview Minister said he wanted to
invite Humphrys here in March and he was sure Shah waild like to
see him. I welcomed this, adding th. t, as a matter of fact, I
was hoping to receive a visit from him about end of February,
To return specifically to Bahrain I submit for
consideration two possible lines of approach (1) a frontier
rectification of Baluchistan if something innocuous can be found
(2) clause in Treaty by which Persia, while reserving right to
submit issue to arbitration, will meanwhile give Bahrainion
basis of reciprocity rights described in our draft Treaty and
exemption from military service. If relations remain friendly
after Treaty question would die? if raised after Treaty arbitra
tion would be relatively innocuous.
Henjam was then touched on. If Persia makes
difficulties I will submit views for your consideration.
Debts and
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
. Minister appears to think
that we have surrendered on both points. If I think it good
tactics I shall be highly qoi polemical about them.
Imminent. Visits. I think I convinced him that
he has been fussing about nothing material.
'Memeet a^ain on February 16th. In the absence
of instructions I will keep matters fluid but it may hamper me
//frwr,
if instructions foreshadowed in your telegram Ko.2,^surely over
due, have not reached me. I w«ritld be grateful for early reply
to my telegram of the 30th January, No,6.
