ruined if overside delivery "becomes a practice. They have mch
"better means of ventilating their grievances than the Bahrain
G-overnment and will make full use of them,and this should be ±
taken into account.
13. In conclusion,! trust that my contention that the matter
is a purely commercial one may "be accepted. If the British
India Steam Navigation Company are forced "by commercial reasons
to grant overside delivery., the Bahrain G-overnment will have to
"bow to the inevitable and take such steps as they deem fit to
restore the lost revenue. I beg,however,that the Government of
India will not of their own motion bring pressure to bear upon
the British India Steam Navigation Company to give such delivery.
I have the honour to be
Sir,
Your Most Obedient Servant,
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
