Their paeep rts are then seized and thej complain to the
Iraq Consul. however the Iraq Government is shortly passing
a law for conscription and the Iraq Consul does not
conteafipl&te any further trouble.
There can be no doubt that many of the per*sons
claiming to be Bahrainis are playing the same game, whilst
even the real Barjrainis would probably gi*c up tneir claim
to Bahrain nationality if there was conscription in Bahrain.
1 am convinced that there is no question of any of them
giving up their property or interests in Persia to return to
Bahrain even without conscription. Bo long therefore as they
are not molested I can see no useful purpose in trying to do
anything further for these so-called Bahrainis who will
certainly not take Bahrain nationality un ess they can keep
their property. In fact to satisfy them it *ould bt more
n ces^ary to change the Persian Law regarding the holding ct*
property by foreigners then to establish Bahrain*e independence
in the eyes of Persia,
