not think they would object In principle to our assiimlng
the right as the protecting power especially when it is a
"fait accor3pli f, # in any case it seems advisable to assume
the power as quickly as possible. This question of an Order
in Council has been going on for yascKH several years already -
ever since about 1906.
In regard to the three matters which you say the Political
Agent cannot forego:-
(I) Prohibiting foreigners from living in Bahrain, and
deporting foreigners.
We know of course that it was with the greatest diffi
culty that His %je8ty , 0 Government agreed to include foreign
ers at all under any provisions of the
Order in Council
A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council.
#
Every effort was made to get authority to deport foreigners,
vide Sir Percy Cox^ letter M.48 of 15th liay 1912, and sub
sequent telegrams, but without result. I do not think there
was any correspondence regarding prohibiting foreigners from
residing in Bahrain, but it comes in the same category and
would not have been accepted.
In these circumstances we shall have to drop the question
of prohibiting foreigners from living in Bahrain or of fWinally
f>^oc-e^-5
deporting them by Judicial
I do not, however, see any "Express and specific pro
vision incompatible with" your observing the old established
custom of putting undesirable foreigners on a ship and re
patriating them by executive order. I should continue to do
it if 1 were you, but if you think It is illegal you could
get the Amir to do the actual sending off.
(II) Security fr'om foreigners without conviction.
See my note of 5th May 1915. If a man is a bad character and
the local authorities or Kazi recommend his being put on se
curity I am certain that no objection would be taken. We
have always found under the Persian Coast and Islands Order
that "The request of the local authorities 11 . If found on en
quiry to be reasonable, is sufficient reason for doing any
thing of the sort by executive order^.
