S.W.I.
25th February 1927.
Sir,
Jith reference to your letter No.P.650-of tne
9th instant respecting the issue of passports by the
Shaikh of Kuwait, I am directed by Secretary Sir Austen
Chamberlain to state that the proposal is not in his
opinion open to objection per se .
2. Lord Birkenhead will, however, remember that in the
correspondence respecting the grant of travel facilities to
iahreinis which ended with the letter from this department
, ^ / ITo.T 14112/235/378 of the 51st of December last,
attention was more than once drawn to the importance of
preventing the Shaikh of Bahrein from issuing passports in
view of the possibility that any such action on his palst
might reawaken the claim of Persia to the sovereignty of
Bahrein.
3. Sir Austen Chamberlain would therefore suggest that
in their reply to the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
in the Persian
Gulf the Government of India should make their approval
of the proposal subject to an assurance from Colonel
Haworth that there is no risk of a similar step being
taken in Bahrein.
4. The proposals as to visas contained in paragraph 4
of the Political Residents despatch seem unobjectionable.
I am, etc.,
Sd/- G.R.WARKBR
The Under Secretary of State,
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.
