Reference your D.O/oBB-ES/? 5 dated 22nd
April 1935. 1 apologise for my delay in
replying to this letter.
2. Regarding the regulations sugges
ted in Hurst f s letter I agree to (a) and
(b).
3. With reference to (c). I think
it is reasonable that if the Bahrain
government issue a letter to a person
stating that he is permitted by the Bahrain
government to return to or visit Bahrain,
then the Bahrain government f s authorisa
tion should be accepted by the authority
issuing a visa without further reference.
If this is not admitted the Bahrain govern
ment will appear to have no say whatever
in the question of who is to be allowed
to come to Bahrain which is an undignified
and unsuitable position.
4 . I presume that (d) applies to
continental pearl merchants as well as
Arabs, the most important pearl merchants
are French subjects.
5. Regarding 2, the Bahrain government
has its own passport regulations which
cover some of the classes of travellers
