In continuation of my letter No. C/666 dated the
27th October 1938 on the subject of agitation in Bahrain,

I forward herewith^as a matter of interest^copies of the
two latest reports that I have received.
2. This stuff need not be taken too seriously, for,
apart from the portion dealing with Courts, it does not
Q,
represent^real public demand for change, It can, I think,
be more truly described as kite-flying to enlist the support
of certain shady gentry with private grievances and private

ambitions.

Yours sincerely,

i? Honourable Lieutenant-Colonel

Sir Trenchard Powle, K.C.I.E. j C.B.E*,,
Political Resident in the Persian Gulf,
Bushire.
