Dear Sir,
It Id unfortunate that tho committee which came
Into oxlotonco sometime ago under the pretext of bringing
edification and progress In life for the people of Bahrain
failed miserably Inasmuch as the opportunity had been availed
of by its members more for their ov/n personal advantage. Be­

sides., Bahrain has not been fully represented In tho committee
and occasions were very frequent and common when the voice
of Bahrain has not boon heard by the members. While It appears

that tho ruler has kindly consented to discuss with tho members
the problems confronting them tho committee without agreeing
with the public put off such meetings under the guise that
nobonoflt can bo drived by mere talk. It would also be

interesting to note that tho members were elected by them­
selves without consulting tho people of Bahrain and no ooul
on tho Island is now pleased with the working of this commi­
ttee, Wo modestly refrain from mentioning the uctlons of

the committee which wore to bring ch/aos and calamity In
this place and would request you to turn a deaf ear in future
to their representations or suggestions.

Yours faithfully,
