I have read in your issue of is'th March, 1947, a
reference to the statement of the Iranian Embassy on the
subject of what had been publishe4 in some papers on the
occasion of the ''General Arab Conference^ intended to
be held in Cairo, stating that I had been elected as a
delegate for Khuzistan to attend the Conference,
I am sorry to have to state now that the news so
frequently reported by the papers has been imputed to me
without my knowledge; nor have I any idea of the purpose
of tne publication of such news.
ii3y relations with the Iranian Government are
6v- i and X, like my father Shaikh kh&za * 1. love and
respect Iran and should be honoured to sacrifice ny life
for her glory and for the welfare of her people.
1 1 being the son of the ex-Amir of iihu&lstan, and
possessing; such qualifications as to entitle me now to
speak in the r^ame of Khuzistan* s people, am able to
affirm with full confidence, oride, end trust, that the
ICGling Iranian Government spares no effort in the way of
progress &nu in the introduction of several improvements to
lead her people always forward. She makes no distinction
among various classes of her people in this respect. They
are all equal and welfare is for them all.
,, '«y advice to those who have a special interest
in disseminating dissension and disunion among classes
through tbe publication of seditious and false news is
h a V c ! ivit i es °* this kind would harm relations between
the Eastern Islamic lowers at the time when we are in
pressing need oi friendly relations and co-operation.
. _. i blame those Arabic newspapers which at times
publish false news given by irresponsible people which
may lead to a crisis which the publishers of these papers
themselves probably desire less than anybody.

(Stuart George Knox; Percy Zachariah Cox) to the Shaikh of Mohammerah in 1914 shortly before and after the outbreak of war with the Ottoman Empire. The substance of this guarantee was that if the Shaikh cooperated with the Amir of Najd and the Shaikh of Kuwait in the capture of Basra from the Ottoman Turks, then the Shaikh and his male descendants would be supported against encroachment on his jurisdiction from the Persian government, whether it be royalist or nationalist. Furthermore, his date gardens on the Turkish side of the Shatt al-Arab would remain in the possession of the Shaikh and his heirs and exempt from taxation in perpetuity.
