G-overnnient of India are concerned, they v/ere originally
prepared to agree, as a ois alter , to a formula which
would have excluded any mention of our treaty relations,
and it is perhaps unlikely that they will wish to press
the point now, but they had better be asked. As regards
the position of the Sheikh vis -a- vis His Majesty’s
G-overnment, the present position is that the Government
of India and 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.
are m agreement that
something ought probably to be done to regularise our
position once the Persian claim is disposed of; that
there are objections to a protectorate; and that the
ground would probably be sufficiently covered by an
undertaking by the Sheikh ”to accept advice of Resident
in more important matters”. The Government of India
recognised that this might have to be coupled with an
assurance of some form of protection, but thought that
”it might be possible to present agreement in a form
free from objection attaching to a formal protectorate”.
While we cannot take action on these lines (to which, in'
any case, the formal concurrence of the Imperial
Departments has still to be obtained) until the Persian
claim is disposed of, if Y/ill be well to prepare the
ground for it beforehand, and I suggest a reference to
the point in the present draft.
Second sentence of draft : The Foreign Office
agreed that the precise terms of the reference now to
be made in the Treaty to Persian representation in
Bahrein must await the views of the Government of India,
laimourtache had in any case resiled from the proposal
embodied in his draft (compare paragraph 19 of Tehran
| despatch 439). It seems, on the whole, distinctly
iooo 5/29 preferable/
