from this Office of 15 June last, regarding the Abu Musa Red
Oxide Concession, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Morley to
forward herewith, for submission to the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, copy of a letter from the Government of India
reporting their proceedings in the matter, and stating their
views as to the course which should be followed.
Sir E. Grey will observe that the Concession under which
4
certain Arabs had granted a lease, amounting to a monopoly to
Herr Wonckhaus has been cancelled by the Sheikh of Shargah, and
that to avoid misconceptions which might arise if the rights
enjoyed by Herr Wonckhaus should be at once transferred to
Messrs. Strick, that firm have been asked through their local
agents to defer anjr action with regard to the Abu Musa mines for
the present* I
As regards future arrangements it will be seen that
the Government of India think that the Sheikh should not be
allowed to grant any monopoly and that he should be advistd to
submit to the
