Jould you please refer to your letter xio.(ya69
of the 23rd April 1939 on the subject of the ^uaaibi family
at Bahrain*

I believe that, as uullard points out t Xba iiaud
is still iii debt to the ^usaibi family and is presumably
trying to be onerous to theia by proxy throu^ the Bahrain
-lovermnent . :rhe financial relations between Ibn 3aud aiid
the iUsaibis are of course not our concern, but what is
our concern is to ensure that the family do not establish
a position in Bahrain as official or even quasi-official
representatives of Ibn iaud t which of course is precluded
by the Bahrain treaties with us. rhe family have tried
to do this in the past and at one tisse ^ave a good deal of
trouble in Bahrain (vide Mscoe^ letter i<o«60-'x, dated the
16th November 1930» to the uovernraent of liidiat and connected
correspondence). if they are given any encouragement they
will undoubtedly try to resuiae their pretensions. ihe
fxemption froes custoias duty on one of their cars, mentioned
by you, is frois one point of view a sort of consular or
diplorsatic concession. Tou should point out the above
considerations verbally to the Bahrain Qovermtent# and
should they have panted the concession (it is not clear
from your letter whether they have done so or not) you
should suggest that they should make it quite clear to the
family /
