Agreements of 22nd December 1880 and of 23rd March 1892 the
shaikh oi Bahrain has undertaken on no account to enter in
any agreement or correspond with any power other than the
British GoTernment, nor without the assent of the British
Government to consent to the residence within his territory
of the Agent of any other Government. Since therefore the
Slrnikh is precluded from corresponding or entering into
negotiations with any foreign power it is, I think, incumbent
on the British Government to protect his interests and his
subjects vis a -vis foreign powers. He has handed over full
control of his foreign relations to us and it is therefore
for us to protect his rights and those of his subjects, and I

Chapter XXII (November 1923) of the Consular Regulations
a list is given of British-protected States, and among them
are shown the "Principal iJative States of India" and Bahrain",
and section 10 states that the provisions of the chapter apply
not only to British subjects, ..... but also to persons trho

given to the annex. It was as a recognition of this
obligation that Bahrainis were issued with passports as
British protected subjects, and confident in the security of
these documents some of them proceeded to Persia in pursuit
of their normal avocations, and many of them were engaged in
trade and petty commerce in Mohammerah long before the Persians
revived their absurd claim to Bahrain. All of a sudden in
support of their contentions the Persian authorities come along

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence between British officials regarding the harassment and mis-treatment of Bahrainis resident in Persia, notably in the town of Mohammerah (present day Khorramshahr).
Much of the correspondence concerns the arrest of a Bahraini trader named Haji Hamid and reports that the Persian government is forcing Bahrainis to give up their Bahraini nationality and adopt Persian nationality.
The correspondence discusses how the British should respond to Persia's actions and the broader implications of any such response. The detention of a Bahrain Government official in Persia (Jaafar Ben Abdullah Saleh) is also discussed as is correspondence regarding the exact number of Bahrainis then resident in Persia.
The file also contains documents relating to foreign representation (or lack thereof) in Bahrain, the undesirability of the USA establishing a consulate in the country and practicalities regarding a visit to Bahrain of Paul Knabenshue, the Minister Resident of the USA in Baghdad.
