still appear to hold the field, and on which we do not know
the Resident’s final views, are (a) a scheme for bringing
Persian schools under the control of the Bahrein Educational
Authorities (a scheme which may, in any case, be desirable
on administrative grounds), and (b) a suggestion that
persecuted Bahreinis should be removed from Persia and
settled on the west side of Bahrein where, apparently, there
is vacant space. On this, however, the question arises
whether even persecuted Bahreinis in fact wish to leave Persia.
This is as far as we have got up to the present. But
it would now appear, e.g. from Ahwaa Despatch to Tehran No.27
dated 22nd April, 1935, that there is quite a good chance of
no further trouble arising in this connection. We are
therefore proposing to do no more at present unless Fowle,
London, has any suggestions or views.
The question of a Nationality Law for Bahrein which
has come into this discussion is, of course, a separate
matter and is, I believe, being dealt with on your side by
Ward at the moment.
Yours sincerely,
(Sgd.) M. J. CLAUSON.
