Do you think there is an^ possilDility of doing anything
for the .bahrainis in Mohammerah? There are two classes
those who own agricultural land and those who work as
pett^ shop-keepers, etc. I have ^definitely informed
the former that I have very little sympathy for them.
They have infringed Persian regulations "by aouiring *££
^^ricultural land and are trying to gel the best of h th
worlds, i.e. the advantage of Bahrain and Persian nation-
-ality. I understand some of them ar tryimg to dispose
of their lan^and return to Bahrain. Anyhow they have
not got much enc )uragement from me. As regards the second
category there is nrt the smallest doubt that the Persians
have oppressed them and have forcibly compelled many of
them to take out nationality certificates. I have given
concrete cases of this and now two of them are in jail
lor refusal to do so, and the Persians have brought mat-
-ters to a head "by conscripting them. It is a matter
which I think should he brought to the notice of H.L.G.
and I am about to write a despatch on the.subject of-w-
which I will send you a copy. -te are definitely respon-
-sible the protection of Bahrain!s abroad since we
control the foreign relations of Bahrain, and I must say
they have a legitimate grievance . I should therefore
be grateful if something could oe done in the matter.
All they asked for was that Shpuld not be conscripted
until the question of their nationality had been settled
ThiSfreally what Teymour promised you.
