report that the Governor General still insists that the
incidents reported as having occurred at Guubah are without
foundation. he has no doubt reported accordingly to “Tehran

Governnent win he based on this report.
A reply has now been received from the Political Aaent
at Bahrain from which it appears that 3eyed Hussein, son of
Geyed .Tun’ah, and Zair Saleh, son of Haji Jun’ah, were both
born in Bahrain and were both in possession of papers of
nationality issued by the authorities there, .there is
therefore no question of dual nationality in those two cases.
3. Zair Gal eh reported to His Majesty’s v iC( . Consul at
Moharmerah a few days a*o. I happened to be there and saw
him. He is an elderly nan of respectable and serious
appearance. He stated that his documents were taken from
