Special Services. In order to avoid any confusion
it would appear to be necessary for the same
administration or authority which notified Sharjah as
a telegraph office eventually to notify the station
for these purposes as well.
3. The Government of India themselves incline to the
view that the station should not have oeen notified *
at all until some formal arrangement had been made with
the Shaikh on whose territory it is situated, and,
as will be seen from the enclosure to this letter,they
have been engaged in correspondence with the Political
Resident in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. with a view to securing
a satisfactory agreement in this respect trom the
Shaikh of Sharjah. They consider that such further
action as may be necessary in the direction ol notifying
particulars of the station for inclusion in one or more
of the lists published by the Berne Bureau should be
deferred until the Shaikh’s formal agreement is forth
coming. When this agreement is secured, they would
suggest that, in view particularly of the fact that
India is likely to have no financial concern m the
maintenance of the Sharjah station, the duty of taking
such further steps as may be necessary to effect
registration, including the registration of abbreviated
telegraphic addresses, could, if there is no objection,
be more appropriately assigned to the administration or
: authority which has already notified it as a telegraph
office and presumably is in possession ot the latest
information.
