14278;
Sir,
I hove the honour to forward herewith a copy
of a notice recently Issued by the Bahrain Government,
forbidding Bahrain subjects to acquire identity certi­
ficates or other travel documents from other Govern­
ments, together with an explanatory memorandum from

Mr. Belgrave. The notice Is somewhat baldly worded
and no penalty is provided for any breach of Its pro­
visions. It remains to be seen whether the Persians
will make use of it for propaganda in support of their
claim to Bahrain.
2. I am sending a copy of this despatch to His
Majesty*s Embassies at Baghdad and Tehran.

I have the honour to be
With the highest respect
Sir,

Your most obedient, humble Servant,

The Rt. Hon. Ernest Bevin, M.P.,
etc., etc., etc.,
Foreign Office,
