Establishment of formal
rotectorates over Koweit,
Bahrein and Muscat.
The Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. Sub-Committee at their 9th
meeting on Monday, 18th March, reached the following
conclusions:-
(a) As regards Toweit .- That it is better on the
whole that matters should remain as they are, and that,
while endeavouring to secure, so far as possible, that
Koweit shall not be identified with Iraq, we should delay
consideration of the establishment of a formal protectorate
until circumstances appear to render this more clearly
desirable;
(b) As regards Bahrein .- That the question of whether
or not a formal protectorate should be declared must to
some extent depend on our success in persuading the
Persian Government to drop their claim to suzerainty.
In these circumstances, the matter will probably
require further consideration at a later date.
(c) as regards uscat .- That we should content
ourselves with aiming at the maintenance of the status
nuo . and should not pursue the idea of a formal protectorate.
