Robert Clive is flagged A. The counter-proposals of the
Minister of Court are contained in his letter, flagged

Broadly speaking, we may, I think, regard the
reception of our draft by Persia as not unsatisfactory.
The following detailed comments are offered;
2. Article 1 (see paragraphs 7 and 8 of
Taimourtache's letter of 20th August, and paragraph 9
of Tehran despatch 439 of 21st August).
I do not think that the alternative wording
proposed by the Minister of Court in paragraph 7 of his
letter will do from our point of view. It will be
remembered that we were anxious to secure formal
recogiition from Persia of the independence of Koweit,
Muscat and the Trucial Sheikhdoms, as well as of
Bahrein, by a reference in this article to "Rulers who
are precluded from ceding territory save to His
Majesty's Govemmeait", and that it was proposed that a
schedule of these Rulers should be appended to the
I
article.
The minor point raised in paragraph 8 of the
Minister of Court*s letter is unlikely to cause
difficulty, and does not actively concern this Office
(Tehran despatch 431, paragraph 10).
Article 2 : No comment.
Articles: (paragraphs 10-15 of Taimourtache 1 s
letter; paragraphs 11-13 of Sir Robert Clive f s despatch)
Xisits o f Warships .- The Persians have adopted an
unaccommodating attitude, and the Minister is inclined
to give way to them. The question is under examination
