trocitiGS
7 Regarding the commercial treaty, he said, there was not much more to’*
done and as regards the other treaty, he saw no serious difficulties in the way of,
settlement. I said I was very glad to hear him say so
8 His Highness is certainly very tar from well, and as we had been talk™
some time I decided it was better not to raise any contentious issues.
9. I accordingly said nothing about the sheikh (see your telegram No. 117 0 {
the 22nd April), nor did I lead him on to speak of the Persian navy (see your telegram
No. 122 of the 30th April). t A
10. I did, however, as recorded in my telegram No. 133 of the 31st May, say
that, subject to’the concurrence of the Iraq Government, His Majesty’s Government
were agreed in principle to a small conference at Basra on the subject of lights and
buoys in the Gulf, and that owing to the heat of summer it might be preferable to
defer the conference until October. His Highness quite agreed, and expressed Ms
gratitude at the willingness of His Majesty’s Government to hold the conference.
He added that as we hoped to sign the general treaty by October, that is before the
conference could take place, it might be well to insert a clause in the treaty in very
general terms with regard to this. I said I would submit this suggestion to yon.
11. I also mentioned the question of arbitration, and said that His Majesty’s
Government were not prepared in the general treaty to have an arbitration clause
at all, for reasons which I had already explained, although they had no objection to
an arbitration clause in the commercial treaty on the lines proposed. His Highness
took note of this.
A copy of this despatch has been sent to the Foreign Secretary to the Government
of India.
I have, &c.
