41. 3haikh of Kuwait’s Date Gardens . The controversy
regarding the ownership of the Shaikh f s gardens on the
3hatt-al-Arab (on which he was promised by H.M.Govt. that
no taxes would be levied in view of the assistance he
rendered us during the late war) took a new turn recently. .
42. Shaikh's chief evidence regarding his right to own the
property was lodged not long ago in the archives oi the
Court at Basrah. It is now missing and has presumably been
stolen. Enquiries are proceeding, and it is alleged that
certain interested persons in the Iraq Government service
are responsible for the theft. , ^ .
(Kuwait Int. Report.)
43 . The Governor . Vice Consul, Mohammerah reports that
the Governor has been suspended and ordered to proceed to
Tehran. It is understood that this was on account of
several complaints of bribery made against him by local
merchants.
44. British Travellers. Two instances of the treatment
accorded to prominent British travellers are reported from
Mohammerah. In the first case, Mr. Moore, the editor of
the ’'Statesman”, who was staying with the Vice Consul before
proceeding to Tehran, received a visit from the Acting
Governor. He had been instructed by Tehran to call, ana
express the hope that Mr. Moore's reports on his^visits^to
Persia would encourage other travellers from India to visit
the country.
45. On the other hand. Sir Philip Game, G.B.E., K.C.B., D.S.O.
the retiring Governor of New South Wales, who was passing
through the f 'Fast ’ Gulf Mail, wished to visit Abadan. He
had been unable to obtain a visa from the Persian Cpnsul at
Karachi owing to the day being a holiday, and in spite.of
the Vice Consul approaching the Acting Governor, permission
could not be obtained to land at Mohammerah.
46 . Change of Name . In view of the recent Persian order,
the iinglo-Persian Oil Company has been re-named the Anglo
Iranian Oil Company, and the Mesopotamia Persia Corporation
have also changed the word Persia to Iran.
