interference.
It is of course quite possible that we may be
disturbing ourselves unnecessarily, and that in practice tr
Persian ships will be likely to confine themselves to their
own side of the Gulf. The Resident did not in any case
think that they were at all likely to visit Bahrein (though
the other members of the conference thought it quite
possible that the Persian Government might seize the
opportunity of nrevoking an incident of a difficult
character by instructing one of the ships to call there).
As regards Koweit, the Resident foresaw no difficulty,
: while on the Trucial Coast he mentioned that he could give
instructions that the Persians should not be allowed to lan
[ and that none of the Sheikhs should come off to visit them.
It was very improbable that the Commander of one of these
Persian ships would himself go on shore to nay the first
\i:.:iu ^0 one cm the Trucial Sheikhs. The*situation is not
al^ogeonor satisfactory, but it is difficult to see what
we can do at this stage beyond await developments ,
Copies of the minutes o^ the meeting have been
[sent to the Government of Indm who might ^ dac oouroc be
.asked for their observations. Certain minor if not
d
junimportant points raised by the S.N.O. in paragraph 6 of l(is
letter of 26th May at P.Z. 4453/31 remain for disposal.
