to communicate the governing documents, i,e.
Exclusive Agreement of 1892 in the case of the
Trvcial Sheikhs (possibly with a reminder that these
have already been communicated in 1928 officially),
the Commercial Treaty of 1891 and the Exclusive
Agreement of 1891 with the Sultan of Muscat, the
Agreement of 1899 with the Sheikh of Koweit, the
treaty of 1916 with the Sheikh of Qatar and the
Exclusive Agreement of 1892 with the Sheikh of
Bahrein. It is arguable that we might also
communicate the treaties of 1820 with the various
Sheikhdoms about the suppression of piracy etc.,
which contain^ an undertaking in rather vague terms
by H.M.Gr. to protect the rulers concerned so long
as they comply with their obligations to us. But
on the whole I think we should do best to omit this
and to take our stand on the leading agreements, whi
are those specified above, more particularly if we
do not communicate the undertakings we have secured
from the various rulers as regards slavery, arms
traffic, etc.
4. One point of some little delicacy arises, viz.
whether or not we should communicate a copy of our
agreement with the Sheikh of Bahrein. The Foreign
Office were at first disposed to think that this
had better be omitted. On the other hand I feel
that it is very undesirable to do anything, even
in small matters, to which the Persians could point
as in any way a recognition of their claim to
Bahrein, and the simplest course would seem
therefore to be that Mr. Mallet should make his
communication in an informal manner but should
include the Bahrein treaty among those to be
communicated/
