Dear Sjr Rupert
Thank you for your letter No,129/8/49 of February 16th
about the Shaikh of Bahraini enquiry for advice on how to
expand his fisheries.
I sent a copy of your letter to Dr. Bertrarri for his ad
vice and I now enclose herewith a copy of his reply The
suggestions in this letter seem to us very useful and I should
be glad to know whether you decide to pass them on to the
Shaikh and if so what his reactions to them are.
It may be that the question of the development of the
Muscat fisheries d>s one which affects both the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
States and the whole of the south coast of Arabia and might,
therefore, best be considered in the context of a general
project in which all the states involved and His Majesty’s
Government might participate; and it is possible that the
Overseas Food Corporation or the Colonial Development Cor
poration (from the point of view of Aden) might be induced
to help. We hope to go into this question shortly with Dr.
Bertram and with the Departments concerned here, with parti
cular reference to the forthcoming visit to the Middle East
of Dr. Finn, head of the Fisheries Department of FAO I
will keep you fully informed on this matter.
As you will see from a separate letter which we have
sent to the
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
, you should very shortly be getting
copies of Dr. Bertram’s Muscat report from the Sultan.
Yours sincerely,
C. WATER!OW.
