We hare offered you more than fair price in the
shape of Basidu, £ 1,000,000 of debt, recognition of your
title to Sirri for ail amicable settlement of your worth
less claim. If we go into court our offer is naturally
withdrawn.
It appears to me that there is no escape from
one or other horn of this dilemma and I believe Minister
of Court has sufficient intellectual horn sty to realise fctei
that it provides convincing argument to meet criticisms
which he appears to fear regarding Unjustifiable
surrender of Persian rights.
Only objection I can see is that lie will perhaps
go back on his qualified agreement that we shall have
facilities at Hen jam. However, this danger will con-
tinue to exist until Treaty is definitely settled and it
cannot be helped* We can make it more difficult for him
to be obstructive in respect of Henjam if we spontaneously
offer docking facilities (see Government of India tele-
gram to Secretary of State for India# Ho. 1111) with
further offer to provide for dock on favourable terms
whenever the Persian government wish to order one.
Last remaining sop would be balance of War
debts.

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.
