been examining the draft tteaty and had reached the conclusion
that much ol it was unacceptable and that the negotiations
would almost have to begin afresh. His Highness replied that
it was true that the treaty had been re-examined, in October,
he thought, anci that it was considered that Persia was being
asked to give much away and was to receive little in return,
X replied that in my view Persia was being asked to surrender
nothing concrete whatsoever - claims such as that to Bahrain
which she actually did not wish to see realised - and she would
receive in return definite, even if small, practical benefits,
and I enquired whether the Shah was cognisant of the details
of the draft treaty, Feroughi answered that the Shah never
knew details and probably had only a general idea of what the
draft contained, especially as he believed that Teymourtache
did not make any special effort to keep His Majesty informed.
5, nfter some further conversation His Highness made the
interesting statement that he was virtually certain that if
we had agreed to surrender Tamb and Abu Musa when Teymourtache
first suggested it, the treaty negotiations would have gone
through.
6, I then reverted to the recent incidents at Tamb and
said that if the xersian Government really desired & treaty
they must avoid creating incidents. His Highness repeated
that he did not know for what purpose the sloop had landed
a party at Tamb. I told him that the Commanding Officer of
the second sloop had told the Captain of His Majesty’s Ship
’’Bideford” that he had come to look for a Persian deserter.
His Highness then said that the Persian sloops were placed in
a position of difficulty in as much as they could not make a
normal notification without appearing to admit that Tamb
and Abu Musa were foreign territory. I told His Highness
that Tamb and Abu Musa were on precisely the same footing
