did this they could not claim any rights thereunder. It is

rather than repudiate the Agreement of 1897.

Kuwait and Bahrain
difficulties in persuading Ithe Rulers of/to cancel their pro
clamations, since under present circumstances,i•e. with a
Persian fleet in being, they certainly would not relish the
right of search granted to Persia by these documents. In the
case of Muscat the letter from the 3adr-i-Aaam was - as stated
above - apparently never actually delivered to the Sultan, and
in any case the Sultan’s proclamation was of a unilateral
character, and could presumably be annulled by him at will.
The same remarks would seem to apply to the Bahrain and Kuwait
proclamations. One possible objection to the cancellation of
these proclamations would, however, be, not from the Persian
point of view, but ours, since the abolition of the Persian,
would also mean that of the British, right of search, for both
are included in the same document.
