Express Letter Ko,P.Z#5S8S/39, dated
1st September 1929. Bahrain Unallotted Area,
2 m There is no objection here to the Coa^any undertaking explor
ation work at once in the area. The Bahrain Government Y.ould be
glad to see this work begin, and I would request that a telegram be
sent to H,M*s Secretary of State for India accordingly. From our
own point of view there is much advantage in expediting the explor
ation of possible oil-bearing areas to reinforce the existing
Bahrain field since my information is that experimental production
over a daily average of SO,000 barrels is resulting in an alarming
influx of water.
3m Would it now be possible to accelerate the final settlement of
concessional terms and of the political agreement ? There can be
no doubt of the political advantage of a rapid settlement now. So
