            10.   Lastly x hold tho vlev/ that tho Bahrain Govornmont
            should give tholr early consideration to tho construction
            of an up-to-date and commodious hotel. There 13 no doubt
            thut for many years to come Bahrain will be a centre for
            air travel. The introduction of adoquate facilities for
            travellers is long over duo, ana i believo that the British
            Overseas Airways corporation would consider favourably any
            reasonable suggestion mudo to them by tho Bahrain Govern­
            ment either that they should undertake a proportion of tho
            construction cost or that they should enter into an agree­
            ment to manage a hotel to bo erectod by tho Bahrain Govern­
            ment. possibly they would prefer to guarantee an annual
            subvention on the Bahrain Government agreeing to rosorve
            a percentage of tho accommodation for their passengers
                                    I have tho honour to be,
                                              Sir,
                                   your most obedient servant,
