(b) that it was desirable that this conference
should take place at the earliest possible date,
not only on general grounds, but because of the recent
purchase by the Saudie of a steamer probably for use
in the Rasa traffic, and the danger that oil
development in Has a might lead to a development of the
port of Ras Tanura, Further, it was admittedly desirable
from all points of view that a friendly agreement should
be reached without delay between these two States,
whose interests were to so large an extent interdependent.
(c) that in the light of the considered opinion of
the Board of Trade on the extent to which and the manner
in which it would be possible for the Bahrain Goverment
to retaliate against individuals indulgirg in direct
transhipment, and of Sir Andrew Ryan's view on the
question of the line to be taken with the Saudi
Government, the whole question should be further
discussed with Colonel Fowle on his arrival with a view to
reaching a decision as to the line to be followed by the
Bahrain representatives at the conference.
(d) The Board of Trade undertook to discuss the
situation generally informally with the B.I.S.N.Co.,
with particular reference to the possibility of the
imposition of port dues.
