lifnile oDject of mission is unooj ectionaole in itself
SnaiKns oy tneir treaties witn us are precludea from naving
aixy relations witn Foreign Powers sucn as direct aealiugs
witn tnis mission would involve. Moreover aucn dealings
would form an undesirable precedent.
2. On tne otner nand I quite appreciate arguments
you adduce against instructing snaikns not to allow tne
mission to land for lacic of visa.
I propose tnerefore to instruct Political Agent
Bahrain to inform Snaikns tnat snould mission inateriaiise
(it ir^y after all oe a mere rumour) tney snould oe allowed
to land. But tnat if mission approacn bnaiKns on oenaii
of Iranian Government Snaiicns snould reply tnat tney are
precluded oy tneir treaties witn us from navxng any dealings
witn tne Agents of Foreign Powers.
