There appear* therefore to be some ground for
maintaining that the Persian regulationa are unusual. On
the other hand they do not appear to be contrary to any
express provision of international law, and X am advised
that a British vessel such as the w Oarasir M would not
contravene the Merchant shipping Act or any British law
by complying with them. This being so. His isjesty’s
Government are hardly in a position to maintain that the
Persian Government have no right to make regulations for
the flying of flags by foreign vessels based on their ports.
4, in view of these considerations His Majesty’s
Government consider that nothing would be gained oy ^eKi *g
a protest against the unusual nature of these regulations,
or by attempting to insist upon the right of the "uarai^ir
to fly the Red Knsign should the representations which
you reported in paragraph 5 of your despatch H0^538 of
July kidth not meet with a favourable response.
5 # i share your opinion that it would in any case
be undesirable to raise the question of the proper width
of territorial waters in connexion with these regulations.
X am, etc.
(For the secretary of state)
