would "be best not to invoke such rights. The admiralty,
in the Gulf of Pari a case (see their memorandum of February,
1936, enclosed with letter M.395/36 of 9th April, 1936, to
the Colonial Office) are strongly opposed to the view that
artificial islands acqaire a territorial helt, thou ;h this
view was not shared "by the Hague Conference of 1330. This
may be a red herring and in any case it would probably be
best not to raise the issue of artificial islands in this case

I return your Admiralty chart of the mouth of the river which
you sent to Quirk on the 31st October. The line about which you
spoke to the Company on 7th September is, I suppose, the same as the
red line EG on your chart, assuming that by the general trend of
Persian coast" (see chart) you mean the same as H the prolongation
of the final section of the left bank of the river^ (paragraph 9 of
your note of 7th September). I gather that the line which H.M.
Government thinks should be the international boundary (referred to
in paragraph 7 of your letter of 11th Oct ber) is the Blue Line.
I can quite well see that there are reasons why you would prefer
that the boundary of the concession did not coincide with uoy of
the suggested international boundaries. In the circumst .aces, it
seems to us that BO, or something like it, would be a satisfactory
line for the concession boundary, although it nay not -include the
largest possible area of sea bed.
I am sending copies of this letter to Gibson, Jones, and the
Board of Trade.
Yours si: oerely,
