Your telegram No. 132-T, regarding Bahrainie.
I had already written on August 15th to the
Minister of Court asking him to restrain the zeal of local
officials , more especial^ as we were discussing Bahrain in
connection with the Treaty.
Yesterday I read him the following telegram
dated 26th August from Consul, Ahwaz "Vice Consul Mohammerah
informs me that the local authorities are now forcing Bahrainis
to sign document stating that they accept Persian nationality
willingly".
His Highness promised immediately to stop this®
but he said that the Persian Government od uld not admit the
tight of the British Consul to protect Bahrainis in Persia
until the question ofBahrain was settled. In Persia
Bahrainis would continued to be regarded as Persian subjects,
. ^
and he referred to the protest enclosed in my despatch No. 21

views of my Government on this point I would not discuss this

Ports to leave Bstirainis ©Zone and not to ask them to register
