Please refer to your telegram No* 1659 of the 24th
November 19 30, asking me to send you the substance of my reply to
the deputation from tbe Qusbah Bahama by Abdul Razzaq.
Your telegram reached me just after Abdul Razzaq had
left» I told the qusbah Bahama that a number of them had
acquired property in Persiat that, as they well knew,
foreign subjects were not allowed to held property in
Persia, and that it was therefore very difficult for us to assist
them while they thsmselres were Yielating Persian laws. 1 went
en to say that, in my opinion, those Bahama who had definitely
settled in Persia and acquired property there and established
themselves permanently in th: t country wou^d be well adyised to
accept Persian nationality. They could not have the advantages
of residence in Persia without the disadvantages. I concluded
by saying that, as regards those Bahama who had net acquired
an
property in Persia, I had, when at Mohammerah, wired to
the Legation mentioning that they were being pressed to take out
Persian nationality papers in connection with the census operatioi
now in progress, and asking them to have instructions sent to the
local authorities in Mohammerah not to bring pressure upon them
in this respect at the present time in accordance with Toymour-
tache v s verbal assurance to Sir Robert Clive. The Vice Consul
at Mohammerah told the Deputy Governor there about this, and aske
him to refrain from any action against these Bahama until a repl
had come from Tehran, and he agreed to do so. Up to the present
I have received no reply from Tehran.
