organisation. ^ ion seems t0 me to be relatively unimportant in the
particular connexion of the boundary dispute. It is therefore unnecessary to take
a decision at this stage on the policy to be pursued. It will depend on the decisions
taken on the other questions.

(A)— Present Position.
There is no arrangement for co-operation on the Shatt-el-Arab. (On the
contrary, there is a good deal of obstruction, chiefly in connexion with passports.)
2. All ocean-going ships in the Shatt-el-Arab, whether lying out in the
stream or moved alongside the wharf at Abadan, are under the authority of the
port. In the case of trouble the Port Director calls in the Iraqi police from Siba.
3. Persian police, as far as is known, do not go on board such ships for any
official purpose.
4. There is, therefore, no reason to raise the police question at any early
stage of the negotiation as far as ocean-going steamers are concerned.
5. Persian police no doubt interfere with small craft on the river. It may
be assumed that such interference generally has the prevention of smuggling as
its motive. The solution of this matter can therefore be most suitably sought in
connexion with the proposals for a joint customs preventive service.

About this item
- Content
This volume is a continuation of Collection 17/5, and contains papers regarding negotiations between Persia [Iran] and Iraq at the League of Nations in 1935, mediated by Italian delegate Baron Pompeo Aloisi. The papers primarily consist of communications regarding the negotiations submitted to the Foreign Office by HM Ambassadors at Rome, Teheran and Baghdad, as well as comments by the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. Political Department, the Admiralty, and representatives of the Governments of Persia, Iraq, and Italy.
The negotiations concerned the frontier line along the Shatt el-Arab, the possibility of granting a Persian anchorage at Abadan [Ābādān], the rights of Persian and British warships to traverse and refuel on the river, and the proposed establishment of a Conservancy Board. Following negotiations in Geneva, Rome and Tehran, the Persian and Iraqi Governments had practically agreed on three instruments: a pact of non-aggression, to be signed by Iraq, Persia and Turkey; a treaty for the peaceful settlement of international disputes between Persia and Iraq; and a treaty of friendship, which would settle the frontier question and establish the Conservancy Board.
In addition to the correspondence, the volume contains: documents circulated by the Council of the League of Nations; Reports on the Sessions of the Council submitted to the Foreign Office by C J Edmonds, Second Adviser to the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs; multiple drafts of the treaty of friendship and non-aggression treaties; and copies of notes exchanged by the Iraqi and Persian Ministers at the League of Nations. A number of these documents are written in French.
The volume includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the volume by year. This is placed at the end of the correspondence (folio 1).
