W dear starling,
You will remember that consequent on the meeting
held here on 27th September, general agreement was reached
as to the amendments to he suggested to the Bahrein
Petioleum Company in their mining lease. We had, as you
know, oeen very anxious to make a corrmunication to the
COixApcun,) on this subject, but thought it better on the
vvhole oo postpone doing so until the position as regards
ohe possible acQuisition of land at Bahrein ior naval
purposes and the requirements of the Air Ministry was
clearer, so that we could if necessary inform Baliantyne
v/itiiout delay, in the event of his raising the point, of
uiie ai^as whicn we wished set aside, in accordance with
the unaertaking given by the Company in connection with
the assignment of the Concession in 1930, for landing
ground and seaplane sites. We are not yet in a position
to dispose of this point, but I am inclined to tnink that
U would be preferable to send in our mining lease
amendments now without further delay and risk an enquiry
irorn the Company on the question of the landing ground and
seaplane sites. If we should feel bound for any reason
00 aavise Sheikh to reject the application which has
how Deen by the Company for an extension of their
respecting licence the point would of course be of
ininedjate importance, since the longer notice we give the
Company the more chance we have of securing early
^ndments in the mining lease which they would in that
event/
