Cyplier telegram to Sir R. Clive (Tehran),
Foreign Office, 25th February, 1930. 6.30 p.m.
No. 37.
Following is text mentioned in my immediately
preceding telegram (Bushire Residency).
In view of the treaties signed this day, and the
solution now happily reached of various differences
which had arisen between cur respective governments,
notably in connexion with the situation in the Persian
Gulf, I have the honour on behalf of His Majesty’s
Government in the United Kingdom to request Your
Excellency to draw the attention of your government to
the following matter, which they trust may be settled
in the same friendly manner.
Article 2 of the Treaty of Commerce between Great
Britain and Persia signed at Tehran on the 28th October
1841 provided that "as for a series of years a Resident
of the British Government has resided at Bushire, tne
Persian Government grants permission that the said
Resident shall reside there as heretofore." oince that
date, in virtue of the agreement embodied in that
treaty, the British Resident in tne Persian Gulf has had
his headquarters at Bushire. Since the year 1878 he has
in addition, held His Britannic Majesty’s Commission as
Consul-General with a district in South Persia, and at
the same time is recognised by the Persian government as
His Majesty’s Consul-General for uhe Provinces of -nrs,
Khuzistan
