Dear Colonel,
The Baiirainis are ocrearnlng. iWe told them to
flee to Iraq and theae fools, Persians, now threaten to
deport them the re.if they don't register. This is
amusing asit is tantamount to renouncing their assertion
that Bahrainis are Persian subjects. Haji Hahid — so
proclaims our dear friend, Rais-i-rNazmieh, was deported for
being H a spy of the British 1 '. Even he could not make them
I hope I haven't been too cantankerous with the
dear Persians over these incidents, but ever since the
protests made by the Persian Government about our helping
the rebels there has been a marked change in feeling here.
My unfortunate Interpreter is watched day and night and if
he goes into a shop, the shopkeeper is summoned by the
police and asked what the interpreter wanted. 1 am stiill
under surveillance and have got to know my watchmen quite
well by sight. What a country !
really swallow the 'saluting' yarn '. 1 hope that "ehran
will move soon as all this is bad for our prestige.
