No. 284-. Political Resident in the Persian Gulf 1 s
telegram No. T/482 dat ed August 23rd. Our comments
are as "follows: (a) our telrm Ho. 4420 dated August 21 st
and your reply No. 10018 of same d ate have Leen
repeated to Resident^ (h) We intend so long as
circumstances permit to treat the Persians as the
Iraqis were treated during " rebellion’- i. e. not as
enemies, (c) Resident presumably refers to dhow traffic
between ports on both '^ides of the Persian Gulf. Our
view is that no interference is necessary and t hat-
trade might provide useful channels for intelligence
but final decision must rest with naval authorities.
I (d) is for Senior Naval Officer, (e) This is scarcely
: the time to consider compensation for possible losses.
