Note on Article V.
Previous drafts of the second paragraph provided for the visits of British
inspectors at stated intervals, and the question gave rise to a lot of trouble. The
present redraft of paragraph 2 is Teymourtache’s own, and His Majesty’s
Minister has authority to accept it. ^
Article VI .— Wireless Stations.
Sa Majeste le Roi cedera definitivement a Sa Majeste imperiale le Schah
le poste de T.S.F. a Hengam et tons les appareils de radiotelegraphie aux stations
de Bouchir et de Lingah a partir de la date de I’entree en vigueur du present
traite.
Notes on A rticle VI.
1. This article has, of course, been agreed to by the Persians, but a new
problem has since been created by the abandonment of the Hen jam Protocol (see
under article 4), article 8 of which provided for the lease of the Hen jam wireless
station to His Majesty’s Government. Unless (which seems unlikely) it is
possible to secure the omission from the treaty article of the words “ le poste de
T.S.F. a Hengam et . . . the best method will probably be an exchange of
notes based on article 8 of the old Hen jam Protocol (q.v. above). The same result
would be achieved by a special clause, to the same effect, in the new “ gentlemen’s
agreement but the essence of that agreement is that it should be brief and
general.
2. Both at the time of the conclusion of the Telegraphs Agreement and
later, the Persian Government endeavoured unofficially to secure the handing
over of these wireless stations in advance of a general treaty settlement.
Article VII. — Bahrein.
1. Sa Majeste imperiale le Schah et Sa Majeste le Roi se mettent d’accord
pour reconnaitre 1'independance de Bahrein et les droits souverains du Cheik
regnant.
2. Sa Majeste le Roi convient, au nom du Cheik de Bahrein, que les sujets
de Sa Majeste imperiale le Schah auront sur les lies de Bahrein pleine protection
pour leurs personnes, droits et biens, ainsi que le droit de s’y livrer au commerce
et a 1'industrie dans les conditions accordees aux ressortissants de la nation la
plus favorisee, pourvu que les ressortissants de Bahrein aient la meme protection
en Perse et le droit de s’y livrer au commerce et a Findustrie dans ces memes
conditions.
Notes on A rticle VII.
1. Paragraph 1, which is acceptable to the Persian Government, is only
acceptable to His Majesty’s Government if a satisfactory formula is found for
article 1 of the Treaty.
2. Paragraph 2 is Teymourtache's redraft (slightly modifying an earlier
British version) as proposed to Sir R. Hoare in February 1932, and His Majesty’s
Minister has authority to accept it.
3. The Persian acceptance of the whole article is, of course, dependent on
agreement being reached regarding their claim for compensation : His Majesty’s
Government do not admit the justice of the claim, and no agreement is in sight.
Article VIII. — Tamh, Abu Musa, Sirri.
Les Hautes Parties Contractantes, dans Finteret des relations amicales qui
existent si heureusement entre elles, sont d’accord pour considerer comme regies
sur la base du statu quo tous les differends survenus entre elles au sujet de la
souverainete sur certaines iles dans le golfe Persique autres que celles mentionnees
aux articles V( 2 ) et VII( 2 ) du present traits. Est reconnue notamment la
souverainete de Sa Majeste imperiale le Schah sur File de Sirri, et celle des Cheiks
Jowazimi d’Oman sur les iles de Tomb (avec Nabiyou-Tomb) et d’Abou-Moussa.
( 2 ) l.c., Basidu and Bahrein: these references will have to be altered when the treaty articles
are finally renumbered.
