554 Records of Bahrain

Telegram, S (PAD)
From. Political Resident, at Shiraz,
To. Political Agent, Bahrain,
No. T/214
Dated 1st and received 3rd August, 1945.

Your telegram No. 438 datod July 29th.
2. I do not consider present time suitable for suggesting
appointment in Commandant of Police. Arrival of European Police

(one of whom is Inspector) should make it possible to reletve Advieer^j-
routine Police work. Moreover, particularly with British Police
now forming element, it would be awkward if Shaikh expressed desire
that Command of Police should be given to Shaikh Khalifa Bin Mohammed.
By P.W.D. Engineer I presume you moan* Officer with qualifications and
status of "Executive Engineer". Would proposed appointment be in
addition or in substitution of. that of Khan Sahib JAjEHAB. European
would presumably bo* required?

3. Is proposed 3tate Accountant to be in substitution or
in addition to BRAGANZA?
4. Except for Assistant State Engkineor which is existing
appointment prior reference will have to made to Government of
India.
5. Please first discuss proposals .including FOUR YEAR PLAN

(except for that for Commandant of Police)'with Shaikh and Adviser
and report1 their reaction* Having obtained their agreement, indicat-
ion of approximate emoluments of each appointment will be necessary
for approach to Government of India.
6. I do not think that any reference to1 consultation with
Prior need be made.
