No. 121/363-S. 4f 1929.
British Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. and Consulate-General,
Bushire, 21st August 1929,
Sir,
J :
With reference to my telegram No. 95, dated the
15th instant, I have the honour to submit for your informa
tion a translation of a petition dated 14th Safar 1348 from
Hamaid al HaJ Ahood al Usfoor, a Bahrain! residing in
Mohemmerah, to the Shaikh of Bahrain.
w
2» It strikes the residents of Bahrain as remarkable
that *hile Britain's protection of th4ir island runs to
dethroning their ruler, sarrying out a series of reforms
and arranging to establish flying boat and aeroplane bases
for herself, it is not of the least value in alleviating
#
the lot of Baharaneh in Persia.
The deadlock over the Persian claim to Bahrain
and the delay in settling it and the Tanb episode of last
year are undoubtedly having a bad effect on the Trucial
Coast Shaikhs, always jealous of European penetration.
3 # I am finding the greatest difficulty in persuad
ing the Shaikh of Ras al iChaimah to consent to the establish*
ment of a re-fuelling station for flying boats at his
capital. He and his fellow Shaikhs think that we sacrifice
their interests to ours, and so the less they have to do
with us the better for themselves.
4.
HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTER,
BRITISH LEGATION AT
TEHRAN.
