Aden, 14th March 1934 .
Sir,
I hare the honour to draw your attention to the
activities of Mr.iiUH* Bailey in the Yeaen and in Aden. He
was at one ticae associated with the Bastem and General
Syndicate, Ltd., 19 St. Swithin’s Lane, London, S.0.4., and
his moveujents have periodically been reported in the Aden
Political Intelligence Summary (paragraphs, inter alia, 1155,
207 I and 2554 ).
2. During cay recent visit to San’a I was informed
that in 1935 Bailoy had borrowed money from various local
people, the repayment of part of which he had offered in the
form of a Bill on the Western and General Company, Ltd., of
IQ BLoombury Avenue, W. Payment of this Bill had later
been refused, and, Bailey having left the country, his
creditors in San*a had been unable to get satisfaction. Other
private debts that h© had contracted there still remain
unsettled, and he has left behind him an unsavoury reputation.
3 . Bailey had also, in March I 952 , been associated
in Aden with Charles Lazarus, a South African, and W. Keiller,
a local sea-oaptain, in an unregistered company called the
Ked Sea Guano Syndicate Ltd. which was formed for the winning
of guano from localities in the lied Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
In the name of the Syndicate he obtained a concession from a
Treaty Chief in the Aden Protectorate, but was unable to
develop
His Majesty’s Secretary of State
for the Colonies, London.
