Sir,
With reference to the correspondence ending with
your letter Mo. F.i94-M/28, dated ttje 17th June 1929, I have
the honour to state that Sir Lionel Haworth was very en
thusiastic aJbout the Khor Kaliya Scheme as a base for the
Royal Mavy, any benefits may have desired for the Bahrain
Government being merely incidental.
Sir Lionel*8 interest was first aroused in April
1927 by Captain Parry, the Senior iiaval Officer in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
. On referring the question to the Political
Agent at Bahrain Sir Lionel was told that, from the point
of view of the Bahrain State, there were certain benefits to
be anticipated from the scheme, but there were also certain
definite objections to its adoption and "in any case the
Bali rain State is not able at present to finance any heavy
expenditure such as, I imagine, this constawction would
entail". The
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
gave his opinion that the
Bali rain State wafjbot in a position to finance the scheme
by themselves but that iimif the British Government were
prepared to undertake the work for reasons of their own it
was probable that the Bahrain State would make a small
contribution.
