Your telegram No. 1167 January 16th.
Bushire - Bahrain cable was laid in
1935 without consent of Persian Government and possibility
that they could make themselves unpleasant about it
was realised vide your letter No PZ 5071 August 20th
1936. There are therefore strong objections to its
restoration (a) on ground mentioned above (b) it may
provoke Persian Government to revive claim to Bahrain,
which is last thing we desire and (c) it would prejudice
negotiations (if not concluded, as to which I have no
information) for renewal of Company*s concession in
Persia (Tehran despatch 186 June 5th 1945 to Foreign
Office;.
2. Persian Government’s permission obtained
in 1942 for Company to operate emergency wireless link
between Bushire and Bahrain was limited to duration of
war. If negotiations mentioned in preceding paragraph
have not been successfully concluded have Company taken
separate steps to secure extension of permission ?
