Enclosure in Foreign Office covering note

FOREIGN OFFICE, S,W.1.
29th November, 1938.
Dear Mr. Mylies,
I am sorry that we have been so long in giving you
our considered views on the various questions connected
with the definition of your area in Iran, which were
MS*
raised in your conversation with Baggallay on the 7th
September. The delay is due to the fact that we have had
to consult other Government Departments, and have had to
examine a number of rather complicated points.
2. You asked for our views on the following three
questions:
(i) whether His Majesty^ Government would raise
any objection to the maritime boundary of the
concession area being drawn, in places, outside
the three mile territorial limit;
(ii) what is the position as regards the high seas,
and
(iii) how to draw the boundary at the mouth of the
Shatt-el-Arab.
Questions (i) and ( ii) .
3. As regards the maritime portions of the Company's
concession, the obvious intention is that the Company
should have the right to extract oil, not from the sea
water, but from the land under the sea . We think that
this is the principle on which the Company should work in
defining the maritime portions of their concessions, i.e.
they should concentrate on "sea bed" rather than "waters",
