It is gratifying to note from the Persian
Foreign Ministers statement to the Majliss (see the
chronological note) that there is a definite indica
tion that the Persian Government are now adopting a
more conciliatory tone and have no other intention
than to reach an equitable working basis with the
Company. There is therefore every reason to be
optimistic that the Company will emerge from the
present impasse, so inconsiderately thrust upon them,
with enhanced prestige and with a satisfactory basis
of working which will take full cognisance of the
enormous benefits derived by Persia from the Company 1 s
operations,
I am taking the liberty of sending a copy of
this letter with the enclosures to the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.

Bahrein, as I am sure that he also will be interested
to have this information^
We have also sent the same docket to our repre
sentative in Kuwait with the request that he would show
it to Col. Dickson and, with the concurrence of the
latter translate to His Excellency the Shaikh and
other notables in Kuwait the items of main interest;
as you will appreciate we are somev/hat disturbed at
the possibility of propaganda against the Company
by the opposition in Kuwait which may have been
created by the present situation. »
Our operations here throughout this period have
continued in a perfectly normal manner and there has
been no interference of any kind with our work nor
any incident of an untoward nature. The Provincial
Officials have treated us with every courtesyand our
contact with them has been as cordial as it always
has been in the past.
With kind regards
Yours sincerely
