concession, and our point of view was explained in a minute by ^
Beckett enclosed in Brenan's letter to you No. E 2288 /I4T3 /91'
of the 25th April, 1938. In this minute Beckett pointed out
that as far as the maritime regions of the concession were
concerned, the obvious intention was that the Company should
have the right to extract oil from the land under t he sea , and
that although tne Sheikh of Bahrein had at present no right to
land anaer tne sea outside the three mile limit, it is
recognised that the bed of the sea and the land under it is
capable o± acquisition beyond that limit. For this reason
Beckett recommended that it would be better to substitute for
tne v/ord Waters' 1 in ft he draft concession the words "submerged
land 1 ', the effect of which would be to give the Company the
right to the land below the sea immediately within the three
mile limit and also outside the three mile limit as soon as
th ey had appropriated it .
Now I think this suggestion of Beckett points to
the means we are looking for of evading the difficulty about
territorial waters which presents itself, or seemed to do so,
in the case of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company's concession in
Persia. Since my discussions with the Company T s representatives
I have looked up the ^Persian law about territorial waters.
Copies of this law were sent to you under cover of Foreign
Office letter No. T 836VUiW380- of the 3rd August 1934 and
a larther copy 5.s enclosed herein for convenience of reference.
You will see from Article I that although the Persians claim
the right of control to a distance of twelve miles from the
coast, they lay specific claln to the bed of the sea only as
f ar as six miles. Possibly, however, they would maintain that
"national interests 1 ' entitle them to control of mineral deposits
U P to the full twelve mile limit. Idb
