service thus breaking their foreign service agreements
forfeiting any right whatsoever to repatriation expenses
thereunder. Since their resignation, they have stayed on
in their quarters and eaten at the Company's mess.
2. Ward Anderson, Chief Local Representative,
Bahrain Petroleum Company, informs me in such cases Company

three men are trespassing Company's premises he enquired from
me whether .they could be deported. I replied that I did not

this opinion informally but Anderson requests that I obtain
your agreement and I would be grateful if you could telegraph
accordingly.

Company's attempt to take "strong line" and he wishes for

resignations occur might be dangerous. By refusing to
