Dear G-iloson,
I enclose herein a record of a discussion which I
had last month with Mylies, Lees and Browne, of the Anglo-
Iranian Oil Company, arising from their Yfish to have some
advice about the "best way of defining the Company^ concession
area in Persia, which, as you know, has to be done before the
31st December, 193S. You will see that we were concerned
with three points, namely :
(1) v /hether His Majesty^ G-overnment would raise
any objection to the maritime boundary of the concession area
being drawn, in places, outside the three mile territorial
limit,
(2) Hov/ to draw the boundary at the mouth of the
Shatt-el-Arab, and
(3) What is the position as regards the High Seas.
2. Since the meeting I have been able to confirm
that what I said about the High Seas, as recorded in paragraph
11 of the enclosure, vms correct, and that the generally
recognised view of international law with regard to the bed
of the open sea and the subsoil beneath it is that the sea bed
and the subsoil is res nullius , but that it is capable of
acquisition by effective occupation in the same manner as
^ny unoccupied territory above the level of the sea.
3. During the meeting, however, it escaped my mind
"that questions (1) and (3) above were dealt Y/ith in recent
correspondence between the
India Office
The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.
and ourselves about
the concession to be granted to Petroleum Concessions Limited
in the "Bahrein Unallotted Area 1 '. In that case, too, the
Question arose how to define the maritime boundary of the
concession,/
Wbson, Esq..
