His Majesty's Government
have reason to believe that the Saudi
Arabian Government have had brought
to their attention the recent opera
tions of the Bahrain Petroleum Company
on the Fasht Bu Saafah, They would
therefore like to make their position
clear regarding this shoal to the
Saudi Arabian Government in a frank
and friendly manner. This shoal is
claimed by His Highness the Shaikh of
Bahrain and is clearly included,in
the islands and reefs whose status
His Majesty's Government offered to
discuss in 1939, which offer the
Saudi Arabian Government did not reply
to. His Majesty's Government have
no intention whatsoever of taking
any action to prejudice the status
of this shoal or the division of the
sea-bed. They are ready to discuss
these subjects at any time. They
suggest that no obstacle should be
placed in the way of the Bahrain
Petroleum Company's proceeding with
exploratory work. His Majesty's
Government assujre the Saudi Arabian
Government that the continuation
of these operations will not be used
in any way as an argument in favour
of the claim of Bahrain to the shoal
in question.
Usual ending.
H.B.M's political Agent.
