herewith for the information and orders of the Governmait
1. Telegram no. 898/1766 dated 3rd November 19SS from the I of India a
Political Resident, Bushire to H.JUHinister, Tehran, j
2. Telegram no. 264 dated 8th November 1922 from H. M* { oooy of
Minister,Tehran to the political Resident, Buahire. f
3. Endorsement No.846—S dated 11th November 1922 forward-| correspondence
ing above to Political Agent, Bahrain. |
4. Memorandum Ko. 140-C dated 2lgt November 1922 from thej which hag
Political Agent, Bahrain to Bhe political Resident, |
Persian Gulf, Bushire. f passed bet
ween His majesty*3 Minister at Tehran and myself and between
myself and the Political Agent, Bahrain on the subject of
passports between Persia and Bahrain.
it will be seen that the present procedure is that
fersians proceeding to Bahrain obtain ,, Ilm-kbabar ,, (a sort
of pass granted to Persians proceeding from one Persian Port
to another) from the Persian Passport authorities* There
were formerly endorsed by Haji Abdul Nabi at Bahrain to be
sxiown to the Persian Passport authorities on return^ but
since about 1912 when Haji Abdul Nabi was forbidden to do
this work they have been endorsed by the political Agent.
This practice of itself is open to objection as it might
be construed into a tacit admission that the Persian Pass
port authorities are justified in giving passes for another
