Resident's telegrams Nos:625 and 6S6 (S.N ob : 54 and
55)) arrived at 16.00 hours on the 2nd August 1933 and
were decypiiered by 17,00 hours.
2. At 17.50 hours I saw Mr.Belgrave and conveyed to him
the instructions in the first part of S .No:55 and explained
to him the necessity for their "being no further discussions
oral or otherwise,with Major Holmes ©n oil questions. He
agreed to this and accompanied me to SAKHIR where the
Sha,ikh was staying.
3. The Shaikh received us at about 19.30 hours and the
situation was explained to him. He fully agreed that it
was essential that he and his brothers and sons should
refrain from any discussions with Major Holmes direct
and ail communications should come through the
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
.
4. In connection with this channel for communications
from Major Holaes I showed the Ruler Condition 'C of the
Schedule of the 12th June 1930. He expressed ignorance
of the contents of the Schedule and asked that Mr.Belgrave
should supply him with a copy of it for his information,
at the same time he agreed with its contents.
5. The Shaikh informed me that he had received a message
through Yusuf Kanoo that a communication was on its way
from the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. He asked whether the
Anglo-Persian Oil Company would have to use the same
channel as the Bahrain Petroleum Company. I replied that
1 was also expecting a communication from the Anglo-
Persian Oil Company and that there would probably be
instructions from Bushire on this matter but that the mail
had not been opened as yet. I added that Mr.Chisholm was
fully aware that all communications tiiat ooirimmu oati one
had to come through the P.R and the
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
and that 1 felt
sure that the Anglo-Persian Oil Company would abide by
these rules.
