No, P 8, datod the 19th August 1945, on tho subject of Bahrain

Development and connected questions ?
2. The action proposed in paragraph 6 of your letter -
is approved.
3. In addition you could perhaps stress that the
removal of the power house to-a central site, together with
tho installation of a suitable plant to avoid the mushroom
plants otherwise likely to bo installed by tho Services, is
an urgent matter; that the people of Bahrain, now grown rich

owing to various factors, have the right to the attention of
the State in regard to their comfort and the provision of the
every-day amenities of life, that electricity is one such,
and that students and others returning from Egypt will not
tolerate miserly tactics when tho State is known to be
overflowing with money; and that similar considerations

apply to road construction and repairs.
