My dear Starling,
*
I encloae a note of ay interview with
Mr*Pallantyne this morning about the extension of the
prospecting licence which, I thinlt, is sell-explanatory.
2* On the whole the arguments for agreeing to a
further extension on the terms indicated are rather evenly
balanced, but I think that if the Company put forward a
proposition such as Ballantyne suggests we could reasonably
advise the Sheikh to accept it* It is, of coarse,
arguable that tne extension in question, to which the
Company obviously attach great importance, may enable them to
select for inclusion in the 100,000 acres to be taken up
under their mining lease all the areas in Bahrein which are
of value from the oil standpoint. II this is so the
SMkh will, of course, be a loser since he would get no offer
i
for the remainder of his dominions either from the Bahrein
Petroleum Company or from the A«P*0«C* But on tue whole the
risk is perhapa one which may be taKen« This is mo e
particularly the case aa firstly we know that local gossip in
Bahrein, \ehich must have a certain effect on the 3heikh, has
ratner suggested that our policy is directed to lavouring the
interests of the A.P. ).G. rather than thobe of the Uheikh and
his i amily and, secondly, we are quite in the dark as to wha i
offer the A.P.O.C. might make in respect of the balance oi
the area*
