Bushire by the Air Mail of Srd November, In the
light 01 that detailed examination the probability that
the Company will refine a material proportion of their
output locally seems a strong one. Subject to your
views and those of the other Departments, I am on the
whole therefore inclined to say nothing on this point
to Ballantyne at the present stage (unless of course in
the course of conversation an opening offers itself).
We have already suggested that Loch should take the
opportunity of the Company's present request for an
extension to make further
soundings
Measurements of the depth of a body of water.
discreetly, and if
he finds this possible the position may be clearer. If
the result of such
soundings
Measurements of the depth of a body of water.
or of any other information
was to make it clear that the Company do not intend to
refine in Bahrein, it would I think be quite possible
lor us to say to Ballantyne that we had always assumed
that, in accordance with the normal practice of oil
companies, the Company proposed to refine locally; that
this had been the consistent assumption of the Sheikh,
who attached great importance to it; that we had
regarded it as so much a matter of course tnat we had
not included it in our list of requirements; but that
now that there seemed some uncertainty on the point
we thought it better to put it beyond question?
On a last point, as explained above, we are not
in a position yet to let the Company know the precise
a ^eas we want for the landing ground and seaplane
sites.
