Please see my note of 33rd March re Bahrain Order-in-Conncii
and "Khidraah", also your telegram 3353 dated 19th July 1915 and
Foreign Department telegram 498-S.dated 5th August 1916.
At present unless another
Order in Council
A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council.
la Issued, the
Bahrain Order-in-Council comes into force on the 2nd February
1917«
The question la, are we going to allow it to come in or
get it postponed again? If the former the question of "’Chid-
mah" ought to be settled.
As regards bringing the Order-in* llajcr Kayes of course
was againat bting'ng it into force during the war, partlyV
bacause his view was that if it was brought in the whole^it
should be enforced, forthv/ith, and this would of course create
difficulties. On the other hand Major Stewart thought the
Order might be introduced at any time provided it was done
gradually, and advocated bringing it in. He had of course less
experience of Bahrain than Major Keyes. Now, however, the
latest news ifi that he is not to come back to Bahrain (which
seems a pity as he apparently wanted to do so), and that Colonel
Ducat is to go'there. We do not know what the latter^ views
oh the subject are.
I am myself inclined to think that there would be no
objection to Introducing the Order provided the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
can do it little by little.
If we wait till Colonel Ducats arrival to decide whether
the order is to be introduced on 2nd February 1917 or not
there will not be time to settle the " Chidmah" question before
that date. To wait for his views therefore would amount to
deciding to postpone the introduction of the Order.
