Reference my Special Report No. S.B. 468
of to-day, on the 26th May the following were at the
house of SAYYID MUHAMMAD MAHDI AL SADR:-
SAYYID MUHAMMAD MAHDI AL SADR,
SAYYID JUWAD AL SADR,
SAYYID HAIDAR AL ASADULLAH,
SHAIKH ABDUL-HUSAIN AL YASIN,
and others. SAYYID MUHAMMAD MAHDI AL SADR regretted
that they had been so precipitate in their action over
AL-BAQI' affair and was of opinion that they should
have consulted the Ulama of all the shrines before
taking action. They blamed SAYYID MUHAMMAD AL SADR
who was the one who urged the action on the ground
that it was the wish of His Majesty the King. Similar
statements were made at a further and larger gathering
on the 27th instant.
In this connection it is reliably reported
that the expenses of the deputation and the cost of all
wires, etc. were paid to SAYYID MUHAMMAD AL SADR by
SAYYID MUHAMMAD BAQIR ibn SAYYID AHMAD WAHID-AL-AIN.

The Provisional Agreement
Concluded between
Iraq and Iran
Number 7975
Date: December 6, 1932
Sir Minister,
I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that as
my government is imbued with a sincere desire to cooperate with the
Iranian government to maintain and ensure security on the borders between
the two kingdoms, it has charged me to convey to you in its name the
following provisions to serve as a temporary basis for this cooperation between the two countries:-
Article One - Each of the Iraqi and Iranian states shall
appoint six commissioners from its subjects in the areas mentioned
hereafter, and the centers of the commissioners shall be as follows:-
Centers of the Iraqi Commissioners | Centers of the Iranian Commissioners
Basra | Khorramshahr
Ali al-Gharbi | Fakkeh
Badra | Mansurabad
Khanaqin | Qasr-e Shirin
Halabja | Baneh
Rawanduz | Oshnavieh
Each of the two states must inform the other state
immediately of the names and addresses of its commissioners, as well as any change
that occurs thereafter in this regard.
Article Two - Each commissioner is permitted to authorize
an official of lower rank than him so that the official may take
the necessary measures to resolve minor issues or to inform
the other party of an incident or for quick procedures
according to Article Three, provided that these actions are carried out
under the supervision of the commissioners themselves or with their approval, and
the commissioners of each party must inform the commissioners
of the other party of the names and addresses of such officials.
Article Three - The duties of the commissioners shall be as
follows:-
First - They must do everything in their power through
means to prevent one or more persons,
armed or unarmed, from forming gangs
to commit robberies in the border area and they shall
also prevent them from crossing the borders and from conducting any
kind of propaganda and incitement against the second
party.
Second - When the commissioners learn that one or more
armed or unarmed persons
are making preparations for the purpose of looting and robbery in
the territories of the other party, they must immediately and without
the slightest delay inform the other party of the details.
Third - The commissioners of one party must
inform the commissioners of the other party of every incident of looting
or robbery occurring in the territory of their respective state
without the slightest delay if they believe that the criminals
are fleeing to the border, and the commissioners of the
other party must then do everything in their power
to prevent the criminals from crossing the borders.
Fourth - If an armed person or persons commit a crime
or misdemeanor in the territory of one party and manage to
flee to the territory of the other party, the border commissioners
of that party, if they are satisfied that there is a
valid reason to believe that the person or
persons committed a crime or misdemeanor within the borders of
the other party, shall detain this person or
persons until a formal request for
extradition is received in accordance with the provisions of the Provisional Agreement for the extradition
of criminals between Iraq and Iran. If no
extradition request is received within two months from the date of arrest,
they must be released.
The border zone is considered to be from the border line to
a distance of 75 kilometers inside the territory of each party.
Fifth - Preventing the smuggling of funds from one kingdom to another kingdom.
Sixth - Resolving disputes, complaints, and lawsuits that occur
between the residents of the borders of the two parties and implementing the decisions taken.
The commissioners are not permitted to resolve
disputes relating to borders, lands, and waters,
nor may they interfere in the political
affairs of the other party or in its internal affairs.
Article Four - The border commissioners are permitted to

by correspondence, and they are also permitted, when necessary, to send
the claimant to the border commissioner of the other party for the purpose of achieving
his right, accompanied by one of their representatives if they deem it necessary, and with
a letter containing the details of the case. In this case,
the claimant and the mentioned representative shall be exempt from the provisions of the laws
of passports for the two kingdoms, and the claimant shall be protected from any
arrest and imprisonment as well. If it is impossible to resolve the case in this manner
and according to the desire of both parties, then the border commissioners shall
settle the case by means of a meeting and oral negotiation. The
meeting place shall be determined with the approval of the commissioners of both parties. The commissioners
may adopt a method in this regard that makes the meeting take place
in the territory of the parties alternately.

the local health authority in this regard, and the following mentioned conditions
