-2- v
His Highness explains that, in granting a moratorium in these
terms, he does not mean that the moratorium shall necessarily
extend until the end of the war, and he expresses the hope
that before the war has come to an end in all parts of the
world conditions in the United States of America and elsewhere
— and especially shipping facilities — will have improved to
such an extent that the Company will be able to resume its
normal work in Bahrain.
6. His Highness agrees that the period of the moratorium
should commence as from the 1st December 1942 and he is will
ing for the Lease dated the 19th June 1940 to be extended by a
period equal to the period of the moratorium.
7. I reproduce verbatim the concluding paragraph of His
Highness* letter to me;-
* In this connection we should like to point out that the
war has added much to the cost of the administration of
our country; in the interests of our people we have been
compelled to become the provider of our country 1 s food
stuffs and instead of being able to add to the State 1 s
Reserve Fund we are using all available money for buying
supplies for the country. Owing to the war we have had
to increase our armed forces to protect our oil fields.
In this and in many other directions the war has been
responsible for increasing expenditure and at the spme
time our revenue has decreased. We therefore take this
opportunity of urging the Bahrain Petroleum Company Ltd
to endeavour to increase the output of Bahrain oil so
that our revenue may increase in proportion to the great
er expenditure made necessary owing to the war".
Yours truly.
Political Agent
