3 The Foreign Office have suggested uLuni-o 1 ficia..1 y
that this text, if accepted as it stands, night
subsequently expose us to trouble with Persia if we weie
to decide to establish a protectorate over, .g., noweio
or Bahrein, and might afiord tne Persians a handlu 101
interference were, e.g., the Trucial Sheikhdoms or Kowei
to repudiate their engagement to have no transactions
with foreign Powers, and to endeavour to enlist Persian
aid. The point is subtle, but difficult. There is peril
something in it. After discussion with Mr. Walton and w|th
the Fasten Department, it is suggested that a possible
way round might be the insertion in the 6th line from th6
end, after the word "including'!Jthe words "in tine case o]
His Britannic Majesty", "its" in the following line being
altered to "his". The Foreign Office are prepared to
consider this suggestion with their Legal Advisers if
it is put to them. I suggest a draft for consideration.
