11. With reference to paragraph 10 of the July Report of
Proceedings, the question of the number of guns to be accorded to
the Governor of Buahire has been settled for the time being. He
has been told to submit his application for more guns to Tehran
for consideration. Presumably if the Iranian Government see any
justification for an increase in his salute, they will take the
matter up through diplomatic channels. Meanwhile it is agreed
that he only receives his usual salute of 13 guns.

11. Ii conversation with the Sheilfc and Mr. Belgrave the
following points arose:-
Palestine Partition Scheme
Mr. Belgrave stated that the Sheitfitakes little interest in
the Palestine Partition Scheme. On receipt of the Foreign Office
telegram the SSH-elkh said to him "There are 8000 Jews in Palestine
are there not?"
Property held by Non-Nationals .
Mr. Belgrave informed me that recently the Persians issued
Qn order thfct no p rson from Bahrain is to be allowed to hold
property in Persia. The Sheilfc countered by issuing a similar orde
in connection with Persians living in Bahrain. T ere is a number
of Persians living in Bahrain and the Sheikh’s order has caused
annoyance to the Persian Government who are proposing to bring the
matter before the League of Nations.
