I would refer to my call upon Mr. J. E. W. Flood this morning.
I enclose copy of a letter dated the 3rd December, 1932, addressed by Mr. E. A.
Skinner to Major Frank Holmes. This letter evidences the very real need for an
immediate settlement of the draft Agreement now receiving the consideration of His
Majesty's Government.
With regard to the point brought forward by Mr. Flood, that it is possible for
the Shaikh of Bahrein to make laws requiring publication of accounts, this Company
is perfectly willing to rest upon a fair interpretation of the provision concerning
accounts which it has already accepted.
I am, &c.,
H. R. BALLANTYNE.
Enclosure in No. 53.
D ear S ir , Bahrein, 3rd December, 1932.
I have received the following telegram from Mr. R. C. Stoner :—
"Advise best price for f.o.b. Bahrein fuel oil for steam outfit and point
of delivery."
to which I answered :—
Facilities necessary and difficulties connected therewith make importation
fuel oil out of question. Suggest using electricity until modification Clause IX
allows use of Bahrein crude oil, or have L. N. Hamilton arrange with Colonial
Office use of Bahrein crude oil pending alteration of Clause IX."
There is one steam-drilling outfit now en route, and possibly another will be
shipped shortly, or is already en route. It will take about 20 barrels of oil per
