you will be good enough to furnish your advice on the
following points.
(a) the correct interpretation of the phrase "at all
times maintain in Bahrein 9 ; i.e. does tnis mean that the
Chief Local Hepresentative should spend his whole time in
Bahrein, with a reasonable period for leave, or that he need
only he in Bahrein when required to transact business or
conduct negotiations?
(b) If the latter interpretation is correct, does this
mean that he need only be in Bahrein to transact business
or conduct negotiations when requi red by the Oompanv ?
(c) ihether it can reasonably be argued, in view of
the considerations mentioned in paragraph 3 above, that it
was implied in the arrangement emboiLed in Condition C that
the Chief Local Heprasentative, who must be approved by His
Ivajesty 1 s Government, should to some extent hold a watching
brief for His Majesty's Government, or at least be a
safeguard against tilings being done by the Company at Bahreir
which His Majesty's Government would not approve?
(d) Whether in view of the wording of the Condition,
His Majesty's Government can demand the dismissal of Major
Holmes, if he fails to carry out his obligations thereunder
and X£ bo , whether, in the event of the Company refusing to
comply with such demand, the Sheikh on the advice of His
iviajesty's Government would be entitled to determine the
concession?
