5. In your despatch No. 366 U 7283/1527/91) of the 13th
ijeoeraber, 1934, you supplied us with argomonts which we were
to use in the ev^nt of its ulti ately oroving necessary to
reply to the enquiry originally addressed to us hy the Iraqis
in October, 1933. We cannot help feeling, however, that
the Iraqis are almost certain to know of the reference to
jiahrain contained in the nnglo-Turitish Convention of 1913,
which, they will contend, provides evidence that Turkish
sovereignty then existed over that island and that, as the
agreement was never ratified, that sovereignty persisted
until the aate of the Treaty of Lausanne. we should like
to know whether the Legal Advisers can meet this point or
can in any other way strengthen the abovernentioned arguments
which, we fear, may not convince the Iraqis as they stand.
6. We are not unmindful of the fact that, as stated in
paragraph 1 of the same despatch, you would prefer, owing
to the delicate ana debatable points involved, not to enter
into a controversy on this matter at all, but I fear that
unless we do so we must give up all idea of saving Bahrainis
resident in Iraq from conscription. On the other hand, it
is clearly worse than useless to try and save them by means
or arguments wnich will not convince the Iraqis.
A further difficulty has been suggested by Drower, who
points out that Article 1 of the old Ottoman Law of
ationality, which was passed in 1369 and, so far as he is
awara, still in force in 1924, says simply that the child
of an Ottoman father is an Ottoman subject. This is subject
to no qualification so that, even had Bahrain been an
independent State for many years previously, a native of
Bahraia might be posaeeasd of Ottoman nationality pasaed
