M THE BAHRAIN P0ST>0^Icir
As formerly the Post-office i^ Bahrain was British and they
stamped as foreign letters,etc which were sent to Bahrain,
re9ently following the suppression of the Southern Post-offices
which the British had established fnomthe time of the war,the
Post~o f fice of Bahrain has also been suppressed,and it is
understood that a Post-office under Persia^ superintendance
tjfcvte be established. Therefore letters etc will be stamped
as for the interior of Persia.
" T ote by 2d itor.
In truth,the matter of Bahrain has become a strange affair,
It neither appears to be part of the Persian Empire nor to be
a dependency of the British, nor of the Arabs. All that we Ignow
is this that the Persian Government has neither an official
representative therefor has sent a Oovernor there, nor are its
departments i^ Persian hands,nor even,if it is foreign terri-
-tory has a Consul been dispatched there,so that the rights of
30,000 Persians settled in Bahrain may oot be at the mercy pf
the designs of the Political Agents and their instruments.
In this connection we have written lengthy articles in our
paper,and repeatedly written official letters to the necessary
high quarters,and drawn the attention of the H-overnment :
unfortunately up to the present there has been no effect.
n ow ,if a Persia^ po^t-office is to be established in
Bahrain,it is a great step forwardjand everyone,particularly
the Persians resident in Bahrain,will be able to'a certain
extent to have confidence in the Government to which he belongs
Therefore it is necessary ^or some experiencedjiipright and
suitable person,]ike(not like?)those other Persians who have
been serving the British there and inflicted every kind of
annoyance on people,should be appointed as inspector for the
directorship o^ the Post-office there. A number of the
inhabitants of the ports,and particularly those with
conrfections in Bahrain have proposed Mr Pa juh,who is one of
the best,most upright and competent postal officials^for this
office. We hope that the Government will pay special
attention to this,and at least heal the wounaea hearts of the
Persians resident in Bahrain by this means..

1 RgGSRDm the POST- O mCS in BAHRAI ^.
Demand of o ne of the inhabitants there.
According to the conversation of a friend of ours with the
Director 'of the post-office at Shiraz,it is understood that
the question of the surrender of the post-offices in the south
has been settled,and the post-offices at Bahrain are also to
be surrendered to the representative of the Persian Government
We thank the Cabinet for this energetic step and congratulate
the sensible young men of Bahrain.particularly these speaking
Persian on their government ^from 4M depth of our hearts.
We request the Director of the Post-office^ of the Ports to
dispatch a worthy official,who will be fully able to cope with
the duties of the off ice, and attract the liking pi; the
inhabitants to the Persian Government. If Mr Pa juh would
undertake this duty,he would have ^our gratitude.
