of i.-civici, since it seenis clear ths/t this agreement is no
longer in existence. Tne instrument in question was only an
agreement ior mutual assistance during the war, and it seems
probable that the provisions of article 4, in regard to the
protection to be afforded to the Sheikh, were only intended
to apply during the continuance of hostilities. In any case,
the agreement can never have been carried out, because it
appears that, soon after its conclusion, the Sheikh joined
forces with the Turks and therefore failed to fulfil his
obligations under the agreement.
10. The Treaty with the Sheikh of El Katr is in a
different position. It was not a "war agreement" at all, but
an agreement on the ordinary lines of the other conventions
between His Majesty’s Government and the Trucial Chiefs; its
terms nrovide for the relations between the Sheikh and His
Majesty’s Government in normal times, and appear to have been
intended to be permanent. It was ratified in larch 1918 ana
there does not appear to be any reason for not regarding it as
still in force.
11. The question whether the treaties of 1915 and 1917
between His Majesty’s Government and the Idrisi can still oe
regarded as effective has already formed the subject of i
nrevious correspondence with this department ending with
Colonial Office letter No. 48021/27 of Eebruary 11th. Since
that date the position has been further examined an- the
treaties have been compared with the text of the Agreement
concluded between Ibn Saud and the Idrisi on October
last.
12. As a result of this examination Sir Austen
Chamberlain considers that the question whether the 1915
Chamberlain considers that the question
Treaty can still be held to be
if so, to what extent, His Majesty's Gov
an obligation "to use every diplomatic means m
"to adiudicate between the rival claims of tne Idrisi an-
to adjudicate
"Imam Yahia or any other rival." As was pointed out in

About this item
- Content
This part relates to the Government of India's decision to issue a revised edition of Aitchison's Treaties (full title: A Collection of Treaties, Engagements and Sanads Relating to India and Neighbouring Countries ), with revised narratives for each geographical area covered, incorporating the principal events that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition in 1909.
The part concerns the revised narrative for the section regarding Persia [Iran], Seistan [Sistan], Kerman and Persian Baluchistan, and includes extensive interdepartmental correspondence (most of which is dated 1929-1931) discussing the contents of the revised narrative, as well as the question of which treaties and agreements to include alongside it.
The correspondence goes on to cover the requirement for a fresh proof of the revised narrative, following the Government of India's decision (made in consultation with His Majesty's Government) to defer its publication, in order to include references not only to recent events but also to further developments that are expected in the near future.
Most of the part is made up of a copy of the second proof of the revised narrative (ff 24-41) together with copies of numerous related treaties, agreements and correspondence covering the period 1763-1928 (ff 42-216), of which a significant amount is written in French.
The main correspondents are the following: the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India; the British Legation, Tehran; officials of the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , Foreign Office, Colonial Office, and the Government of India's Foreign and Political Department.
