dated the 22na January 191b, on the subject of the negotiat-
-ions for oil concesfions in Bahrain and Cuwait.
2. I arn of opinion hat my predecessors, Colonels
no arj. revor, diet everything possible to induce the > haikhs
of these two States to come to an agreement with the -jnglo-
-Persian Oil Company, and whenever I have visited Bahrain (5
times) and Kuwait (twice) I have interested myself in the
progress iaae by the Com any, whose ana, er, r. Jacks, has
met both chiefs at - uharornarah this summer.
here is unfortunately a noticeable distrust of the
Anglo- ersian Oil Company in both Chiefships# his is due
to the beliefs (l) that the Company is a Iritish Government
concern anci likely therefore to interfere more boldly than a
private company would in the internal affairs of the Btates^
(2) that it does not really wish to bore for oil at all at
present but only to keep its rivals out of the Gulf, and (5)
that, when it does commence operations, being such a large
corporation, it will attract many ot the divers from the
earling Xndustry ane wxll al^o increase enormously the un
welcome influx of foreigners-
4. part from this distrust, I feel sure that ajor
