4 * I should explain at this point that the official
objections of the Persian Oovernment are reinforced by others
of an unofficialf and to them probably much more cogent,
character© fhe officials at the Ministry hare frankly explained
that they dislike the term "British Protected Person” most of
all because it is reminiscent of the days in which foreign
Qorerxments used to extend their protection to persons who were
V
by birth and residence Persian subjects* It is this familiar
argument of H amour-propre" which will, I fear, prove the real
obstacle to the acceptance by the Persian Government of any
form of words including the phrase "Protected Person"*
5 . The solution that the Persian officials themselves have
suggested unofficially is that British Protected Persons should
be called simply "nationals of the Kurram” or whatever their
territory might be©
6 © I have suggested in my first despatch that a suitable
variation of this phrase should be adopted in the ease of
Kurramis and of two of the Indian States ant I now venture to
enquire how far it will be possible to make this suggestion one
of general application, at any rate in caaee where nationality
papers are issued In Persia or for the express purpose of
travelling to Persia©

yarious territories enumerated in the Annex to hapter aXI± of
