of Bahrainis by the Givernor of C^usbah, I have the honour
to report that, according to information given to His
Majesty’s Vice-Oonsul at Mohammerah, the persecution of these
people continues® One informant exhibited marks of a lash

back on his promise to stay his hand until instructions
are received from Tehran, or that he has received instructions
approving of his actions.
2. In accordance with your instructions I called on the
Governor General and ±kx£x informed him of the reports
received by me and ofjiour action inthe matter and of our
desire to avoid a despute the present time. I said that I
