Under Secretary of State.
Please see the note on P. 1082/29 below about
communications in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. . Captain Noble now tells
me that, thanks to the very satisfactory relations which have
been established between Sir Frederick Johnston and the local
Naval authorities, no communication is expected from the
Naval Commander-in-Chief, and that the Senior Naval Officer,
in private letters, has reported that no hitch of any kind
is occurring in regard to the repetition, etc., of telegrams.
I mentioned to Captain Noble that Sir Frederick Johnston
was now unfortunately resigning on grounds of health, and
said that Colonel Barrett, who is to act for him, and
Colonel ^iscoe, who is to hold the permanent post, were
both ofiicers with considerable Gulf experience, and would,
I felt sure, endeavour to work in with the Naval authorities
in the same way as the outgoing Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. had done. ^
It will be remembered that the Viceroy spoke on
the question of good relations to Sir Frederick Johnston
A
it
before he took up his appointment. It is a point of not
inconsiderable importance, and I venture to suggest for
consideration that the Secretary of State might think it worth
while mentioning in a private letter the possibility of
having a similar hint conveyed to Colonel Barrett and
Colonel Briscoe. (If Colonel B/iscoe calls here during his
forthcoming leave, it will be possible for the Office to
impress on him the importance of the point, and also to put
him in personal touch with the Operations Division of the
Admiralty.) I suggest a tentative draft paragraph.
