In reply to Foreign Office letter Nc.T 89o4/318/378,
of 7th September 1934, I am directed by the Secretary of
State for India to say that, while definite information is
not available, it is in his view likely that the number of
visas and endorsements for India and other places issued by
the Political Agents at -Bahrain and Koweit may be consider
able and that great inconvenience might therefore result were
any general instructions to avoid granting visas or endorse
ments wherever possible to be issued to them. At the same
time he agrees with the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs as to the desirability of taking any steps possible to
avoid inconvenience to British subjects as a result of the
attitude which has been adopted by the Persians in the matter j|
now r under discussion. In the light of demi-official #ix§-
conversations which have taken place with your department he
is of opinion that it will suffice if the Political Agents in
question are instructed to avoid the grant of visas or en
dorsements as far as possible where it appears to be the
intention of the applicant to proceed subsequently to Persia,
and I am to enclose a copy of instructions to this effect .
which have now been sent to the Government of India. It will
not be overlooked in this connection that, under the procedure
embodied in Foreign Office Confidential Circular No. T 7205/
1
UM ^818/378 of 15th August 1934, special provision exists to meet
the cases of persons who hold passports, visas, or available
for Bahrain and Koweit who wish to proceed to Persia.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Sd/- J.C.Walton.
Ihe Under Secretary of State,
Foreign Office.
