\4\ .. (W. ^ ^
As you will see, we have suggested to the Air
Ministry that the A.O.G. might take advantage
of your visit to Baghdad to have a talk with
you and Dickson on this last subject. The
Koweit oil company have strongly urged us to
select our sites straight away in the interest
of simplifying subsequent operations, and, as
you will see, we have, in the light of this,
suggested to the Air Ministry that they should
iirmedlately reconnoitre for sites at JWa&ra and
Suhaihiya and find out exactly what they want.
Itien they have done that we can then consider
the question of either purchasing them, if they
are In private ownership, or getting them on
favourable terms or free of charge from the Sheikh
if they are Government p2X >perty. It will not
matter if we do not make any use of them for quite
a long time to come, de main thing will he that
we shall have secured an unassailable title and that
the oil concessionnaires, whoever they may be, will
not be able to interfere with us in respect of
these areas.
£• I am sending under a separate letter an advance
copy of the note of a discussion here about the date
gardens, which may be useful to you in case the question
comes up.
of a talk with Janson and Holmes about oil concessions
in general, with particular reference to the Neutral Zone.
3.
There is also going to you officially the note
Yours sincerely.
