Article 7.
The “ element de contradiction ” presumably refers to the undertaking given
by the King on behalf of a ruler whom he has recognised as an independent
Sovereign; at least I can see no other possibility, illogical as this criticism is in
view of the terms of article 1 But as it can only be advantageous to His Maiestv’s
Government to be thus relieved of the responsibility inherent in this undertaking
I presume that no objection need be raised to the change proposed
The altered second paragraph of this article will be seen to deprive Bahreinis
resident in Persia of reciprocal treatment in the matter of the protection of their
persons, rights and property; I consider it objectionable for that reason
It is satisfactory that the Minister for Foreign Affairs should at last have
realised the impossibility of mentioning the question of Persian representatives in
the treaty. On the other hand, I have, as stated in my telegram No. 176 of the
28th July, invariably emphasised in my conversations with his Highness that any
Persian representatives would be entirely unofficial and could only be selected in
agreement with the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
. I am consequently uncertain as to how much
importance should be attached to the passage beginning: “ Mais il doit rester
entendu .... autorites locales,” nor whether it would not be advisable to call in
question this assertion of a right which His Majesty’s Government would at no time
be prepared to acknowledge without far-reaching qualifications. To ignore this
assertion might later be characterised as a tacit acceptance without which the rest
would never have been conceded.
The sentence beginning £C Meme si mon Gouvernement ne soutenait pas,” a
remarkable example of muddled thinking, may, perhaps, be taken to mean that
Tamb, Abu Musa and Sirri are all essential to Persia if public opinion is to be
appeased for the loss of Bahrein, but that, since the Persian Government claim these
islands as their own, in any case, the eventual British recognition of their claim can
have no market value.
