and in civil matters is shown in the printed memoranda
enclosed herewith, and but for the political complications
at the moment existing between Persia and this country
Sir John Simon would be disposed to suggest that endeavour
should be made to effect an arrangement for the reciprocal
service of writs as between Persia and Koweit, subject to the
same general principles in the case of Koweit as are applied
in this country. In such an event the Persian Government
might for example be informed of the readiness of the Sheikh
of Koweit to allow Persian documents to be served in his
territory if it were understood that the Persian Government
would give reciprocal treatment for the service in Persia of
documents emanating from courts in Koweit, adding as a rider
a suggestion on the lines of that proposed in paragraph 7
of Mr. Hoare*s despatch, to the effect that the Sheikh was
only making the offer out of regard for the fact that
negotiations were in progress for the regularization of the
relations between the two States.
3. Since however it seems impossible to foresee at the
present moment, owing to the cancellation by Persia of the
Anglo-Persian Oil concession and the generally precarious
state of the treaty negotiations, whether any progress is
likely to be made toward the recognition of Koweit by Persia,
it might be better, if no great practical disadvantage is
likely to be suffered by Koweit in consequence, to inform
the Persian Government that pending their recognition of
Koweit the service of documents from Persian courts cannot
be effected in that country.
I am
Sir
Your obedient Servant
