without their knowledge and against advice . He was urged
by wile and other malcontents . iibdullah says agitation
mainly by nakhudas who fear reforms mean taxation and prod
uction o± accounts and decided to cry before hyrt . Hamad
thinks that they will give up agitation if they receive early
reply to the effect that reforms are ordered by His Majesty's
Government and that he and I have to carry them out and that
His Majesty's Government is well aware of the state of things
in Bahrain and will not entertain unfounded complaints merely

thought to indicate some degree of success and encourage
further agitation. For this reason I shall not announce
your visit until the last day-
