As he had already stated, we could not prevent the Persians
flran bringing the matter before the League Council,and in
view of this it was surely better to be fully prepared in
advance. The Persians had learnt much from our handling
of the Anglo-Persian oil dispute at Geneva. A territorial
dispute such as the Bahrein issue might not be an exact
parallel, but we could not be sure that the particular
events on which the Persian Government might base their
appeal to the Council would not be held to call for an
urgent settlement. He could not admit therefore that
a reference to the Law Officers now would involve delay.
On the contrary, he felt that it would be the best way
of ensuring that we should not be handicapped by the
necessity for further delay if and when the question
became acute. It seemed to him illogical to taKe the
line that because it was vitally important for His Majesty’s
Government to maintain a particular position, any examina
tion of the strength of that position should be avoided.
CAPTAIN KING said that the present position of
our naval forces in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
was very awkward,
and that even Sir Reginald Hoare had taken the line
that the situation at Basidu and Henjam might become
unendurable 0 He felt that it was necessary to take a
stiffer line than hitherto in dealing with the
Persianso
MR. RENDSL explained that it was precisely because,
as Captain King had said, the situation at Basidu and
Henjam was becoming unendurable, and because everything
pointed to that situation becoming even worse, that the
Foreign Office were inclined to recommend a more drastic
policy on the lines now advocated by Sir R. Hcare. He
felt that it was only by bringing the Persians into
the open and maxing them realise that they would definitely
lose British friendship if matters were allowed to drift
