Article 4 exempts vessels owned by diplomats from the scope
of the regulations.
3* The Ministry for Foreign Affairs are enquiring
whether Article 4 also covers Consular officers and I have
strongly urged that exemption from the regulations should in
any case be extended to them. Otherwise, we only appear
to be concerned with Article 3. point (a) calls for no
comment; the object of point (b) according to the explanation
of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs is to bring purely local
craft into line with motor-cars, on which foreigners
occupying private positions are equally not allowed to fly
their flags. (I would add in parenthesis that Consuls are
allowed to fly the flag of their country on their motor-cars).
I have been assured that this new order is not specifically
directed against British shipping or against the s.s. H Garmsir”
in particular, but rather against dhows belonging to Iraqis,
Koweitis, etcetera, of which a considerable number are said
to ply for hire in Iranian ports and waters. It would
appear from the third paragraph of Mr. Watkinso^s despatch
enclosed in my despatch under reference that British-owned
local craft at Mohammerah and Abadan, and even the stern
wheelers which ply up to Ahwaz, do not, in practice, wear
any flag; so the situation there, in fact, remains unchanged.
The only British vessel which I know to be affected is
accordingly the s.s. H Garmsir u at Bushire. I am informed
by the
