My dear Gilbert,
With reference to your official letter P.Z.231/33 of the
25th January, enclosing a copy of the draft agreement between
Imperial Airways and the Shaikh of Bahrain, I sendyou, as arrange*
i
by telephone, a written statement of our views, in order that,
as you hove suggested, the matter may be discussed at an inter
departmental meeting. We agree with you that it will be
necessary as a first step to have such a meeting without a
representative of Imperial Airways.
2. In the first place, there is one general point which
interests us, namely that the agreement should be in line with
the International Air Navigation Convention of 1919 and should
allow no undue discrimination against foreign aircraft. This
raises the general question of the position of Bahrain in
respect of international conventions. At the moment we are
sitting on the fence: on the one hand, Bahrain is not a British
protected State, in the sense that the Malay States, for instance
are; so the Air Convention cannot be said to apply already to
Bahrain under Article 40. On the other hand, it seems doubtful
whether we should be prepared to regard Bahrain as sufficiently
independent to accede to the Convention as a separate State under
Article 41. (For convenience of reference, I attach copies of
this and other texts referred to in this letter). I understand
that the
