I am directed by Secretary Sir Ansten Chamberlain to
receipt of your letter No. 58355/28 of the 3rd May regarding the recent incidents at
Abadan and the general relations between Persia and ‘ Iraq.
2. Mr. Secretary Amery will observe from Sir B. Clive’s telegram No. 108
of the 20th April, a copy of which is enclosed herein for convenience of reference,
that an official protest has already been addressed to the Persian Government
regarding the incidents an Abadan, and that the opportunity has been taken of
pointing out to them that the whole waters of the Shatt-al-Arab are in ‘Iraq territory.
In these circumstances Sir Ansten Chamberlain prefers to await the fuller report
from Sir 14. Clive, mentioned in Sir H. Dobbs’ telegram No. 237 of April 25th,
before considering the other questions raised in your letter under reply, especially
in view of the later information contained in Sir R. Clive’s telegram No. 119 of the
29th April (a copy of which is also enclosed herein), to the effect that practica y
all the action taken by the Persian Minister of Finance against British interests m
Southern Persia has now been reversed by the Persian Minister of the Court.
3. It appears to Sir Austen Chamberlain, however, that the incidents
referred to by Sir H. Dobbs illustrate the urgent desirability, m the interests both
of His Majesty’s Government and of ‘Iraq, of taking whatever steps may e pos
sible to facilitate the establishment of normal relations between Persia and iiaq,
and in this connexion he desires to invite the special attention o i. ^^ ,
suggestions contained in the Foreign Office letter of the 23rd Apn on
of judicial privileges in ‘ Iraq.
4. Copies of this letter have been sent to the Admiralty, Air Ministry and
Board of Trade.

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.
