Dear Sir,
Please refer to your letter No.PA-466 dated the
24th February, 1940.
2, I fear it is incorrect to include Bahnain in the
"zone of operations' 1 in so far as the California Arabian
Standard Oil Company 's operations in Arabia are concerned.
It is true that a very small number of British Indian clerks
are employed by you here in Bahrain, and of course so ar as
they are concerned there is no objection to defining the
^zone of operations^ as bein^ Bahrain; but for the rest they
are recruited definitely fcr service in Saudi Arabia and
(with^slngle exception of your own office) the Company's
zone of operations is solely and only Saudi Arabia. n these
cases 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.
, Bahrain, is in no position to act
as arbitrating authority since he has nojurisdiction in
Saudi Arabia and no arbitration award given by him in respect
of British Indians working in Saudi Arabia has any legal
force.
3. i should be obliged therefore if you would instruct
your recruiting agents in India to ensure that in ^11
contracts of British Indians required fcr service in Saudi
Arabia the zone of operations shou d be described as Saudi
Arabia only; and that all references to 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.
at Bahrain or to the "British Government Officer exercislnr
judicial powers in Bahrain" should be omitted. Presumably
you recruit special men fcr your OM»n of ice in Manama an i -n
