3* In Paragraph 4(5) of his despatch No:2 dated the
bth February lv33 to the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
the late Sir Hugh Biscoe mentioned that during his visit to
Hofuf he had had some discussion with the King or with Shaikh
iusuf Yasin of the possibility of some Consular status "being
accorded to Mggdi representatives in Bahrain and Kuwait, I
have no record of what passed,nor do I know whether the matter
was pursued,
4* There have recently "been occasional visits to Bahrain
toy the French Consul at Bushire,Monsieur Georges Cassin,whose
ca>rd bore,when he called upon me,the style 'Consul de France'*
He tries to introduce 'into the Suq cheap French scents and so
forth; and has asiced on more than one occasion to see the Oil
Field,but the Bahrain Petroleum Company Limited have refused
to allow him to do so* I understand,however,that his chief
concern is,by hook or by crook,to produce sufficient evidence
of work to prevent the abolition of his post (and his own
retirement) owing to the prevailing financial stringency*
5, The Vice-Consul of the 'United States of America in
Bushire visited Bahrain in 1925,staying with the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.

his having indulged in any Consular activities* I am told that
about two years ago,the Consul of the United States of America
in Baghdad visited Bahrain and stayed with tne American Mission,
I understand that he regarded Bahrain as within His Consular
sphere,but I do not know whether he performed any Consular
acts wnile here. He apparently held the opinion that the
Officer holding his appointment should visit the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.

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.
