ADMIRALTY,
July 16th, 1914.
Sir:-
In reply to your communication of the 7th instant,
no.30268, relative to the proposed lease of islands in
the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, I am comanded by My Lords Commission
ers of the Admiralty to request you to inform the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs that in their
opinion it is most important, in view of the recent
discussions concerning the agreement with the Anglo-
Persian Oil Company, that the lease of these islands
should be secured.
My Lords would not feel justified at the present
time in committing themselves to a definite limit for
the rent to be offered for such a lease. It may however
be material to remark that the latest geological reports
are very favourable, and that boring plant has been sent
to Kishim for testing the various sites for oil.
I am to add that My Lords concur in the reply which
Sir
The Under Secretary of State,
Foreign Office.
