about the introduction of postage stamps over-printed
’’Bahrein” for use in Bahrein. An Indian post-office
has been established at Bahrein since about 1904 and
the stamps hitherto used have been ordinary Indian
stamps without any surcharge. In Koweit, on the other
hand, where Indian stamps are also used, they are used
with the surcharge ’’Koweit”.
As will be seen from Mr.Hoare’s telegram of 12th
October the Persians have protested against the proposed
surcharge in the case of Bahrein. They may be unaware
of the existing position, but one would have thought
that the surcharge had the advantage/of emphasising that
we do not regard Bahrein as British territory. But
they may, of course, take exception to anything which
emphasises its independence of Persia.
The Government of India’s views are given in yuur
of 18th October. I understand demi-officially
from the Foreign Office that they are prepared to instruct
Mr.Hoare on the lines proposed by them. I submit that
we might inform them that we support the Government of
India’s views and concur in action on these lines.
