7. For the last-named reason, I think it would be advantageous if the
Turkish Government could be induced officially to renew their patronage of the
Bahrein route, and I do not see much difficulty in the way, if they would consent
to establish regular post offices in Ojair, Hasa and Katif, and to make a
P ermanent arrangement for the conveyance of the mails between the Sanjak
brts and Bahrein, just as we have a contract for the carriage of mails between
Bahrein and Busrah, etc.
8. The only stipulation we should make would be that articles intended for
Hasa and Katif should be posted in the existing Indian Offices such as those at
Busrah and Baghdad. The revenue, then, on mails carried from the latter ports to
the Sanjak would come to our Postal Department, while the revenue from articles
posted in the Sanjak Post Offices would accrue to the Turkish Government. We
could not, of course, permit the establishment of a Turkish Post office in
Bahrein, and all mails intended for and coming from the Sanjak Offices would be
exchanged in sealed mail bags between those offices and our post office in this
Island.
