who Wc=s stro n S-'-^ recommended by Hutchings, but unfortunately
he apparently cannot leave England. There are of course English
technical instructors employed in Iraq but none of them have
got the very wide qualifications required in the Principal of
the College here and in any case it is scarcely the time to try
to filch from Iraq Englishmen who have been employed there
through the efforts of the Embassy or the British Council.
4» I am afraid I do not know what standard has been reached
in Inaia in technical education. Here again I do not imagine
fi
we could get^first class Englishman with wide experience and
qualifications, and I am not sure if there are any Anglo-Indians
who could hold the job. We can of course make enquiries, but
I have been wondering whether it would not be a good plan in
the present circumstances to try out an American. I should
never think of this in normal times but as things are at present
it does seem to be worth while taking this into consideration.
Before however I suggest it formally to the Bahrain Government
I should be most grateful if you would let me know what you
think of this idea. One of the objections is that Americans
are usually more expensive than Englishmen, but on the other
hand we sh^t/" have expert aid from the Oil Company in selecting
a really good man at as reasonable a wage as possible.
5. Meanwhile I have given Thornburg a copy of Hutching^s
Report, Vallance has had further talks with Hutchings, and he,
Belgrave and I are going to see what we can get out of the Oil
Company now.
Yours sincerely,
