4. Tn the saroe note Your Highness
refers in somewhat general teras to the
hardship© vhioh the ^hia copulation of
Bahrein are s ^id to suffer at the hands
of the Bahrein fTovernfiient. I shall be
haopy, ae always, to investigate proper
ly subrtantiated individual complaints,
but in the meantime T be^ leave to
quote Lieutenant Colonel Bi80oe*6 comment
on the passage in ruestion ;-
"I can only say thdt on each
"ocjafioa I visited Bahrein the ^hia
"priests htve complained to me bitterly
"of the hardships inriicted ui)on :;hia
"B &hreinis in ^ersia, and have never
"once coP;)i; ined to me of any hardship^
"sufferea at the hanae of the Bahrein
"Oovernment
For the ui'tiscut , therefore, I am
forced to conclude that the complaints
Ti lerr^d to in Your Highneas' note
emanate from the sane tainted source
v ^hich was responsible for the article
in the "Ittila-at n p and are, like that
article, founded on nothing more than a
desire to embitter Anglo-Persian relations
from motives of personal interest,
I av^il 'ayselfm ^f this opportunity
to renew to Your Highness the assurance
of R^y highest consideration.
