From Political Resident, Bushlre.
To Political Agent, Bahrain.
No. 358
Dated 16th received 17th November 1930.
('
Your letter dated November 12th, paragraph
6.
I cannot repeat cannot sanction notice you
suggest.
2. Your paragraph 7. You should advise Bahrain
Government from me verbally that they should accredit
*
a (representative) to Bahrain Petroleum Company forthwith.
It would of course have been much better If Bahrain
Government and Bahrain Petooleum Company between them had
had foresight to make this move before, but as it Is a
good one in itself I am of the opinion that it should be
adopted without delay.
3. I presume there is no intention of releasing
imprisoned rioters ? In my opinion they should be kept
in prison for the present and unless you see objection
you can pass this opinion on to Bahrain Government.
4. You should impress on Bahrain Government that
it is they who are responsible for dealing with situation
and not us and all that we give them Is advloe and not
of course instructions.
5. Letter follows by this mail.
