It was arranged t/]ia"t whatever happens in future
between the Persians and Arabs the British representa
tive should effect a settlement thereof as he does for
their own subjects. So for some time they (the Persian,
used to live better than before, but it is an admitted
fact that wherever there are a number of people with
out a protector they will be subjected to high-handed
ness of others;and it is obvious that the representa
tive of the British Oovernment will not have an hearty
affection for tne Persians,but he will not care to
sacrifice thousand of lives for the furtherance of his
politics.
My sole object in writing this letter and giving
the above details is (to point out) that the situation
has become too serious for the people of that place
i.e.the Persians residing at Bahrein,and they say that
if,in fact,the Persian •government has lost sight of
. . . '/
their rights in the island,why lose sight ofthis group
of subjects. For what reason should these illfated per
sons remain captive and submissive to foreigners. Why
do they not send a representative to those parts so
that he may safeguard them.
( You should not suppose that this group of
subjects mentioned by me are all
coolies
A term used to describe labourers from a number of Asian countries, now considered derogatory.
, sailors,
labourers and have footed menof straw. No,most of them
are from, among leading merchants and owners of pro
perties and wealthy persons of name who,had they been
pleased and encomaged,would have subscribed large sums
to the National Bank and it was possible that the dear
country and the fellow countrymen may receive mucn
benefit from them ) And if they have not lost sight- of
it,then what is meant by "communication with British
Minister'.' Why do they give passports of travel to ..
Bahrein passengers like passengers for Foreign coun
tries, and why do they levy duties on goods exported to
and imported from that place like Foreign countries?
