P.2. 6238/34, dated the 20&1 October 1934, regarding the
ill-treatment of Bahrainis in Persia. I must apologise
for not hating given you our views before, but as you will
realise we have been rather pressed with other work of

dated the 17th November 1934, of which & copy was sent to
you. <«e all now appear to be in general agreement that
nothing effectual can be done on behalf of Bahrainis who
have acquired Persian nationality by virtue of the Persian
Nationality Law, and that our efforts must be confined
mainly to protests on behalf of casual Bahrainis who were
born in Bahrain and not in Persia and own no land, nor have
any permanent interests in Persia. It is probable that
these protests will not have much effect unless some form
of retaliatory action can be taken. As you will see,

other proposal for bringing Persian Schools under the control
of Bahrain Educational authority appears to be desirable on
administrative grounds apart from its effect as a measure of
retaliation; Fowle is however still examining the practical
implications of this and also of the proposal to settle
Bahrainis, who wish to leave Persia, on the west side of
the Island, Powle's own suggestion in paragraph 10 of
his letter would seem to imply a measure of discrimination
greater urgency. You will have seen Fowle’s comnents
