on the Arab side (though, of course, we shall probably want tc
get the Sheikh of Bahrein to agree to accept the Resident's
advice, anci there nay have to be some more or less formal
engagement with the Trucial Sheikhs, Muscat, Bahrein or
Koweit, in connection with the leasing of aerodromes), and I
propose to submit shortly therefore that we should send it to
the Foreign Office and Colonial Office for observations. It
will not fall on the Persian side of the Foreigi Office, and
the number of controversial points involved is so very small
that I do not think either they or the Colonial Office will be
harassed by it.
I do not know whether it is the intention of the
Government of India to send us any Indian State sections, nor,
so far as I am aware, have we any information as to what
progress has been made in this section. But, from the late
date at which we have received the

narratives, it
seems clear that the processpf revision is moving slowly,
and in these circumstances - certainly as regards Persia -
I think it would be well worth our while to postpone the
issue of the volume until the present negotiations are over,
as that is not likely to be long delayed. But it might be
worth consulting the Government of India d.o. on the position.

About this item
- Content
This part relates to the Government of India's decision to issue a revised edition of Aitchison's Treaties (full title: A Collection of Treaties, Engagements and Sanads Relating to India and Neighbouring Countries ), with revised narratives for each geographical area covered, incorporating the principal events that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition in 1909.
The part concerns the revised narrative for the section regarding Persia [Iran], Seistan [Sistan], Kerman and Persian Baluchistan, and includes extensive interdepartmental correspondence (most of which is dated 1929-1931) discussing the contents of the revised narrative, as well as the question of which treaties and agreements to include alongside it.
The correspondence goes on to cover the requirement for a fresh proof of the revised narrative, following the Government of India's decision (made in consultation with His Majesty's Government) to defer its publication, in order to include references not only to recent events but also to further developments that are expected in the near future.
Most of the part is made up of a copy of the second proof of the revised narrative (ff 24-41) together with copies of numerous related treaties, agreements and correspondence covering the period 1763-1928 (ff 42-216), of which a significant amount is written in French.
The main correspondents are the following: the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India; the British Legation, Tehran; officials of the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , Foreign Office, Colonial Office, and the Government of India's Foreign and Political Department.
