i ^ .Will you please refer to your demi-official letter No.
383-3 dated the 27th April 1939 in regard to the Bainain ?
2. I am afraid I have delayed my reply to your letter, but
I did not wish to discuss this matter with any one in Bahrain
until Ibn Saud 1 s visit was over; and also I was waiting for
a sloop to come in, in the hope of getting a chart from them.
Actually we have not had a sloop in for some time, but so far
as I can discover there are no accurate large scale charts of
the sea between Bahrain and the Saudi Coast from Oqair to A1
Khobar.
3. From information which I have now received, this appa-
rently minor matter of the Bainain 'is likely to become part of
a very much more important question. I gather that there is
likely to be rapid technical advance in oil exploitation in
shoal waters in the near future (made possible by improved
geophysical methods of exploration) and the California Company
intend to be in the van. The two offsprings in the Gulf, the
California Arabian Standard Oil Company and the Bahrain Petroleum
Company, are preparing for shoal water exploration to a distance
of several miles from the Coast, including areas as far as the
Rennie and Bu Athama shoals.
4. I am writing this letter in rather a hurry as I leave
for Plasa tomorrow for five days, so I have not had time to look
up previous discussions about international rights and how they
can be established beyond the three mile limit, but I think it
is/-
