His Majesty’s Government would he most reluctant
that negotiations should break down over the question of
Tamh. The possibility, however, of a compromise solution
depends entirely upon the Sheikh of Has-el-Khaimah’s
readiness to sell. Last September the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
reported that he did not think the Sheikh would accept any
sum of money that Persia was likely to offer, and if the
Sheikh were absolutely to refuse to sell at any price, His
Majesty’s Government obviously could not bring pressure on
him to do so. The only possible course of action then
would be to tell Persia that the renunciation of her claim
is an absolute condition of any settlement with us.
For the present it is important to discourage the
idea in the mind of the Minister of Court that the island
can somehow or other be secured for Persia. We cannot
even hint at the possibility of a deal unless and until we
hear that the Sheikh is willing to sell. Government of
nidia are being requested to arrange for Sheikh's attitude
ori this point to be ascertained, but this is for your own
information only and not for communication to Persian
Government.
