\
Sir '
I am[/directed to acknowledge receipt of your letter
No.448-3,dated the 6th May 1934, and to say that in the
circumstances explained the Government of India agree that
it is not desirable at present to press the Shaikh of Bahrain
for a reduction in the Civil List.
2. They think, however, that steps should be taken to
ensure that the amounts taken from reserve in past years
should be refunded as soon as possible, and suggest that the
State should be encouraged to save up a balance approximately
equal to one year's revenue before embarking upon diffusion
of revenues received from royalties on oil. In this
connection, they would urge that steps should be taken to
give effect to a regular convention regarding the distribution
of the proceeds of oil revenues. In order to secure
replenishment of.the reserve, I am to suggest that the
Shaikh's proposal should be slightly revised to allow of
apportionment of 1/3 to the ruling family, 1/3 to State
revenues and 1/3 to reserve.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant.
Deputy Secretary to the Government of India.
