Company, two-thirds to be a loan to the State repayable
from royalties, one-third to be for the private purse
of the Sheikh without expectation of repayment. After
considerable discussion on the question of the right
of the Company to an extension he suggested as a
compromise that the Company should ask for an extension
of thirteen months. This would save the face of all
parties. The Company were admittedly not entitled
to an extension of 13 months (as distinct from 12).',
and if they wished for it must therefore be prepared
to pay for it, I said I thought that this was the
best way out of the difficulty,
5, Mr, Ball ant yne said that the Company regarded
it as important that the negotiation should be handled
through the Chief Local Representative. I said we
agreed entirely as to this. We had no desire to
short-circuit the Chief Local Representative in any
way. At the same time we should be grateful if the
Company wouH keep us in close touch at this end with
any developments in Bahrein or any instructiona sent
by them to the Chief Local Representative, This
might assist to smooth matters and avoid mi sunderstand-
U.
ings. Mr. Ball ant yne said he very glad to do so.
He remarked in conclusion that the Company were
anxious that the Sheikh should not receive prior
information of the possible intentions of the Company
and that his first information should come from the
Chief Local Representative,
