demi-official letter No. 635-S dated August 24th 1937.
I am entirely in agreement with the views put forward
in your note of the 21st August. There is no system
in Bahrain and there is much too much money being dealt
with now to permit of the old method of budgeting being
continued with safety. The new accounts man would be
quite capable of running a system but I am doubtful
if he will be able to initiate one. I suggest that
a skilled accountant be obtained for a short period
to overhaul the system as you suggest and if the Government
of India cannot produce anyone then possibly the
Colonial Office might be able to provide a man from
Palestine or Trans-Jordan. They have a special finance
service I believe and would be accustomed to dealing
with the finance of small places like Bahrain. We must
avoid becoming over officered like Zanzibar was and I
do not advise the creation of any more permanent posts.
The Honourable
Mr. O.K. Garoe, G.I.E./I.C.S.,
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
