P.Z.3604/34.
FQREIGH OPPICE, S.W.l
(E 2953/1561/91) 2 9th 1934.
My dear Gilbert,
We sent you privately on the 14th May a copy
of Ho are f s latest despatch (No.182 of the 12th April) on
the subject of Bahrainis at Gusbah.
In the Ahwaz despatch (No.22 of 27th March)
enclosed therein, paragraph 2, Watkinson says tint there
is no question of dual nationality in the case of the tv/o
principal victims, Sayid Hussein and Zair Saleh. It
certainly seems most probable that these two people were
in fact Bahrainis and were not Persians, but it is perhaps
worth pointing out nevertheless that, on the fact available,
this is no more than a probability. If the fathers of
these two men were born in Persia, and resided there at
the age of eighteen, the sons (i.e. the victims in the
present affair) would by Persian law be Persian subjects
not withstanding the fact that they were born outside
Persia.
3. In other words, the victims may possibly be of
dual nationality quite apart from the Persian claim to
Bahrain.
4. Very likely this point has already occurred to
you independently, but as you will shortl^be replying
officially to our letter No.E.2633/l56l/91 of the 9th May
it seemed worth drawing your attention to it.
Tours ever,
(SD.) GEORGE EENDEL.
J.G.Laithwaite, Esq.
