/O
I have the honour to refer to your despatch No:235-S
dated the 5th May 1931 to the Foreign Secretary to the
Government of India,and to say that the treatment of Bahama
in Muhammerah has aroused considerable resentment in iiaiirain
particularly amongst the Shiah sections of the population.
fy\k> 2. With regard to para 10 of the above mentioned letter,
1 would suggest that use might be made of the additional
threat to abolish the Pahlavi cap in Bahrain and close the
Persian schools if the Persian Government do not cease their
persecution of Bahrain subjects in Persia. Recent events
have shown me that the ruling authorities in Persia take a
deep and urgent interest in the affairs of their nationals jL
in Bahrain,and I feel sure that a prohibition of the head
gear so closely associated with His Majesty Riza Shah would
strike their amour propre in a most sensitive spot.
I have the honour to be
Sir,
Your Most Obedient Servant,
Political Agent, Bail rain.
