Dominions to India and Persia** They hare probably
forgotten these fights and it is therefore doubtful
whether it is wise to remind them by cancelling the
documents, upon which some of our own rights are also
based*
Should it now be decided to make a protest in
regard to the recent search of the Omani Jolly Boat by
■’Bebr*, it will be evident from the Persian reply whether
these *rights* are known or not.
Apart from the foregoing, Their Lordships concur
with you that the Persians have no right to interfere with
Arab shipping for Customs or any other purposes outside
their own territorial waters, and They do not think it
likely that the Persians are under any serious
misapprehension as to the rights they possess since
several protests have already been made against Persian
interference with Arab shipping on the high seas for
Customs purposes*
Their Lordships think it improbable that the
Persians will endeavour to claim rights similar to ours to
search for arms on the high seas of the Gulf, since their
policy for some considerable time has been to endeavour to
secure for themselves the sole right to supervise Persian
shipping, leaving the remainder to the British Navy*
BY COMMAND OF THEIR LORDSHIPS
