Ko.261/15 of 1348
Office of tlie Adviser to
the G-overinnent, Bahrein.
Bated 33rd, Safar 134§
30th July li£.
To
^•3.LI T s Political Ajent, Bahrein.
Llemorandum
Some misapprehension exists at present on
the subjects of passports.
The passport rules as regards Persians were
imposed for political reasons as the acceptance of a
document styling Bahrein as part of Persia is highly de-
ro^jatory to the amour-propre of the State of Bahrein# For
no 64her reason does the G-ovemment of Bahrein wish to
exclude Persians.
According to the rules no Persian is admitted
without a pass stamped "by a British Gonsular Official, or
a document issued "by one of certain mainland Shaikhs to
genuine Persian residents in their territories.
The former rule is not carried out and the
latter rule is greatly ahused.
/
If a Persian obtains a British vise for
Bahrein on his passport it is torn out "by an official at
the Persian port of embarkation. Persian passports are
now endorsed v/ith the wrds Bahrein, Persia" and in the
aim al Khubar, alternative to a passport, the same des
cription is used.
Persians have told me that they cannot get a
/ . . O .
British vise in Bombay or Karachi, this I fail to under-
- stand though it may have been refused on passports which
bear the words "Bahrein, Persia"
The result of the regulations is a deadlock.
