Lifrhtahip for Bahrain Harbour.
2. In view of the decision of the Bahrain Petroleum
Company Limited to ship oil to the extent of seven hundred
tons a day by July 1st, 1934, (nineteen thirty-four)
traffic (both the carriage of materials and supplies for
the workers) is likely to increase and I hope that it will
be possible to hasten the provision of the Lightshin for
Bahrain Harbour.
3. It is, moreover, to our interest to increase the
facilities offered by the Bahrain Harbour as quickly as
possible in order to prevent, or at any rate postpone, the
establishment of a oort on the mainland. If the Standard
Oil Comnany of California find oil in Hasa, they will
naturally have to make terminal arrangements on the main
land for shipping oil. ^hey are now, however, only at the
beginning of their operations and I hope,also,that if they
find the Bahrain harbour offers marked facilities for deal
ing with traffic they may prefer to avoid helping to
create a comnrrcial port on the mainland. If we can
achieve pestnoninsr the making of a commercial port for a
few years, it is possible ♦hat unsettled conditions may
reassert/
