Government took certain steps regarding its claim to
possess Bahrein and appealed to the League of Nations, the
British have interfered more than before in the internal
affairs there and are preparing plans and stratagems for
furthering their objects, but at the same time they are
tfying to do it in the name of the Government of Bahrein^
Colon«l Biscuit has lately bought a large
plot of ground near the Mahriq fort and is starting to
erect an important building there, and it is rumoured that
the centre of the British Consulate General will be
transferred to Bahrein.
Contrary to former times, nearly every day
or every other day British Government planes visit Bahrein,
The building known as Quarantine, which belongs to the
deposed Sheikh Issa bin Ali al Khalifeh, has been bought
by the British Government for
Rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
15,000 and it has
been made the aeroplane centre. Finally, the freash steps
which the British Consul General is taking, both openly
and secretly, mark a new chapter in Bahrein and all
Bahreinis, especially we Persians, are opening our eyes
and looking on with interest at his actions to see how far
they will go. Of course our honourable Ministers are
paying attention to the situation and will not allow the
obvious rights of Persia in Bahrein to be trampled on»
To-day Colonel Biscuit went to Qatar with
his warships, but will return to Bahrein in a few days.
(Signed) Mun'emi.
