We think it most unlikely that any really
substantial and purely British operating Company could take
up concession in this area and are most anxious not to be
faced with repetition of Traders episode. We wish therefore
to leave nothing undone to' encourage Shaikh to clinch with
the Anglo-Persian Oil Company as against negotiating with
Holmes and his friends# In these circumstances we suggest
opportunity might be taken before Anglo-Persian Oil Company
option expires of indicating to Shaikh that his interests will
best be served by granting concession to a concern which is
well qualified to work it and of impressing on him again that
His Majesty's Government will not be prepared to approve of
grant except to a concern which is at least partly British.
2. Choose most opportune moment for such action
having regard to progress of Mylles , financial discussions with
Shaikh. We suggest you might discuss situation with him
on his arrival in Bahrain#
of which was sent by Company to you at Delhi by air mail of
March 17th, please see record of conversation with Anglo-
Persian Oil Company and Baylies of March 28th, copy sent to

As regards Shaikh's re-draft of concession, copy
