3* I also informed the (iovernor General that it is a*
longer the practive of British Consular Officials in
Persia to issue papers to Bahrainis , who must obtain
them direct from Bahrain, and that, in return for this forbeai
-ance it was perhaps reasonable to axempt that the Persian
Government shoud refrain for the oresent from giving them
Persian papers until the question of their status in Persia
had been decided between/the two Governments*
4* His Excellency said that he did not see that anything
could be done in the matter locally, but that he would lo^k
into it* I then reminded him that, according to my
information, instructions wert sent to Jinx his predecessor
a few years ago that the question of registration of
Bahrainis was to remain in abeyance pending t;.e result
of negotiations and that they should be left in peace*
I am forwarding a copy of this despatch to the
Honourable the iolitical Kesident at Bushire No394*
1 have the hononr to be,Sir,
Your m^st obedient humble servant,
