Persian undertaking to maintain s tatus quo
la soraemhat obscure as it stands at present especially
in point of duration. It seems moreover open to
interpretation that Persian Government are at liberty
to take law into their own hands and seize any islands
they can as soon as a hitch occurs in your negotiations.
It would therefore be desirable to obtain if possible,
without conveying impression of nervousness on tfie part
of His Majesty's Government which might only stimulate
Persians to action^ a further and more binding under
taking to the effect that no change in s tatus quo will
be made by Persians for some definite period say six
months or for two months after termination forthcoming
discussions. xou should therefore endeavour to obtain
re-affirmation by Minister uf Court of his promise on
above lines.
With reference to the passport and visa
regulations which the Shaikh of Bahrain proposes to intro
duce the Shaikh is being asked to postpone action until
January let for the reason that very short notice is
given to all concerned if Hate December 1st is fixed.
I ssub of new passport regulations can certainly be looked
upon as breach of status quo . Questions of this
nature are clearly in a different category from military
