I have the honour to transmit to you a translation of a
note from the Persian Minister for Foreign Affaire on the subject
of the national status of natives of the Furram and of those
persons in general called "British Protected Persons".
2. This note is the outcome of objections raised by the
Persian Government t© the fact that the documents issued by the
passport authorities in India and elsewhere, and Certificate*
of Nationality Issued by His Majesty’s Consular Officers in Persi%
to natives of the Kurram and Kashmir describe them as "British
Protected : erson(s) native(s) of the Kurram (or Kashmir)*#
3* In the eyes of the Persian Government the national status
of these persons - and by analogy of all other persons described
as "British Protected Persons native of.is insufficiently
defined in contemplation of Article 1 fcf the Persian Nationality
Law of 1308 (1929), because the designation in question does not
explicitly state that the person is a subject, national, or
citizen (as opposed to a "native" of some foreign state.
4* As a result the large number of Kurramls resident in north
ern Persia have become involved in difficulties with the local
authorities (particularly at Astarabad, Aaul and Pesht) when
applying for residence permits under the Law governing the
Residence of Foreigners in Persia, a copy of which was transmitted
to your predecessor in Sir Robert Clive 1 s despatch No. 260 of
30th May 1931. The authorities confiscated their nationality
