settlement in Bahrain ol the families concerned by a tax
on Persians living in Bahrain*
I fear, however, that the numbers concerned
(which may be some thousands) and the political and economic
complications which might ensue, make me doubtful
whether such a course would be practicable at present,
though it might aiford an appropriate remedy if it were
desired at any time to take a strong line with the
Persian Government*
Though I cannot make any definite statement
wi thoug concult ing the Shaikh of Bahrain, it occurs t o me
that, if it were desired to find a place for these
Bahrain subjects and if other difficulties could be over
come, there are certain houses and lands on thewest side
of the Island, which were abandoned some years ago for
political reasons and which might be made available
for this purpose*
I am sending a copy of this despatch to His
Majesty’s ^ecretc«ry of State for India, the Foreign
secretary to the Government of India, His Majesty’s
Consul, Ahwaz and 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.
