Dated the 14th Kay 1939.

Will you please refer to your official letter No.
567-15 dated the 27th April 1939 with which you sent me
a petition from certain alleged Bahrain subjects in regard
to their property in Iran ?
2. I am afraid that it is quite impossible to do anything
to assist these people to retain their properties in Iran.
It has been general knowledge for years that Iranian Nationality
and Property Laws make it impossible for foreigners to possess
property in Iran # and indeed it was this that led to the issue
of the Bahrain Nationality and Property Laws in retaliation.
3. I suspect that most of the signatories of this petition
are people whose families have been resident in Mohammerah for
generations, and though it is of course possible for such
people to possess dual nationality they must recognise that
in respect of property in Iran their ”master nationality 11
must be Iranian.
Yours sincerely f
