iiew Bups, you nilgirj say that His Majesty’s Government
welcome their arrival, and the British naval forces
will do their best to maintain the most cordial relations
on the basis of International practiceo No doubt the
same motives actuate the Persian authorities, and for
that reason you think it well to mention a possible
difficulty arising out of the application of internation
al practice regarding naval visits 0 The Persian vessels
will no doubt be fully occupied on the Persian side of
the Gulf, but possibly a ship might on occasion wish
to visit the Arab side. If, however, a Persian vessel
were, without some previous agreement, to visit any of
the ports or islands under the effective sovereignty of
any of the Arab rulers enumerated in article 1 of the
draft general treaty, such a visit, if it were not an act
of recognition, would be liable to be regarded as an act
of aggression. His Majesty's Government presume that
this would not be in harmony with the Persian governs
merit's intentionso They feel that it is better to
mention a matter of this kind, involving the possibility
of friction, before rather than after ’the event, and they
suggest that if on any occasion the Persian government
should wish to send a ship to visit any of the Arab
ports or islands they should notify you or the Consul-
General at Bush ire, so that any possibility ox a local
incident may be avoided, and time given for arrangements
to be made for the reception of the vessel with one
customary courtesies,, End pf _„rN,
