The Governor sent for the official of the
r'
SIj11 Ahwal Department and instructed him not to
confiscate such documents but to issue the ieieian "bijil*
and allow these individu la of dual nationality to carry
both documents* He explained that Bahrain claimed to be
independent while Persia claimed Bahrain and that until
this question was settled all lahrainis in Persia must
have "Sijil" but that they coaid also keep their Bahrain
documents so that when the time came they could establish
their identity as Persians or Bahrainia &s the case might
be* He sent his kindest regards to me and informed me t;:nt
this was the manner in which he proposed to d eal with the
problem*
I sent a reily to the effect t at we were giving
tie same advice to the Bahrainis and that if he could
make the dijil Department keep to this arrangement we might
consider the matter closed as far as he and I were concerned.

lAot and that the Bahrainis will be molested no longer
provided they do not resist taking, out rersian papers* <thile

choose between conscription and losing their property*
As a matter of interest i would also report that
I discussed ihe subject with my Iraq colleague* he informed
me that he is having the same trouble over certain persons
living in Kohasimerah who claim tc be Iraqis whilst the
Persians claim them to be Persians. He maintains that all of
these are eimply trying to avoid corscrivtion. They visi t
Irao m d get a few friends to vouch for them and obtain Iraqi
passports
