U Reference your telegram of the 1st April, No,120. As
A
you will see from the enclosed copy of a letter to
Mr,3allantyne it has "been decided as suggested by you to
omit the reference to the Sheikh of Bahrein in Article 9
and the Schedule of the political agreement. The Sheikh's
co-operation is however still required in the provision of a
penalty for a breach of the Agreement Article 10) as
in the case of the Koweit Oil concession and elsewhere.
Please therefore take early steps, if you see no objection,
I |0 2^
to explain the terras of the draft Agreement, including the
requisitioning provisions, to the Sheikh and inform me by
telegraph whether he is prepared to take note of it in an
exchange of notes in the customary form. It is improbable
that any amendments of substance will be required as the
result of our letter to Mr. Ballantyne.
The issue of the above has been duly authorised.
