yitld. It seemtd to me most unpractical to £e on with the
pre.ent uneatiefactory state of affeire, which had already
lasted a hundred years # and not to put an end to what
seemed to me a quite unnecessary source of disagreement
between the two Gowemments sriein* out of a Persian claim
which it was utterly ireoossible to substantiate.
His Excellency asked whether I had any particular
euggeetion in mind for regulating the question. I said that
I might make a suggestion if it was distinctly understood
that it was a purely private one and did not commit mn or
His Majesty's Government to its adoption or Hi« Excellency
to its acceptance # whatever his answer might be. On his
signifying hir, agreement with this, 1 inquired whether the
Persian Government, which would yield to no argument, would
accept a ruling by some third
agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
, e.g. an arbitral award
and whether in hi a opinion his Gorcmmont would agree to a
submiseion to arbitration of the Persian claim. His
Excellency replied that in his personal opinion the answer
to both questions was in the affirmative. I sddtd that there
was no doubt that the award would be against the Persian claim
and that the arbitration might cost the Persian Government a
not inconsiderable auv of coney. His Excellency admitted
this but said that it did not modify the reply which he had
given to me.
It seemed to me that there w « here s method of
•ettling onee and for all this long-atanding and tiresome
question and securing the definite and formal renunciation
oy the Persian Government of their claim to Bahrein. As
however Your Lordship is not in favour of a submission to any
form of arbitration, the suggestion must be dronned, unless
In the light of this more ample report of what took place,
you consider it necessary to reconsider the matter.
