Sir,
I have received from the Colonial Office a letter
dated the 31st ultimo (18301/33) asking for my opinion on
certain questions arising in connection with the Bahrein
Petroleum Gompam^s Oil Concession in Bahrein, and I was
requested in that letter to transmit my reply to the India
Office by whom it was stated that the work connected with
(j
the Persian Oulf hitherto dealt with by the Colonial Office
had been taken over on the 1st instant.
In my opinion a reasonable interpretation of
Condition C. scheduled to the Indenture of 12th June, 1930,
is that the Bahrein Petroleum Co. is required in the ordinary
course of business to have available at Bahrein a chief local V
representative who will be regularly at his post save during
such periods or such seasons and times as are normally to be
regarded as proper periods of absence for a European employed
in that place, regard being had to local climatic and other
conditions. The use of the words " chief local representative"
suggests the possibility of a subordinate representative, who
might no doubt be empowered to act as deputy for Major Holmes
/
in the latter's absence, though the papers referred to me with
the letter of the 31st ultimo do not give any information on
this point. But hov/ever this may be, it is not a sufficient
answer for the \Gompany to say that they are satisfied that
their own interests have not suffered by the absences of
Major Holmes, since the other party to the Indenture of the
t k J. ru-.h)
Storev's G-ate,
St. James' s Park,
London, S.W.I.
