I suppose, a» Colonel Hay is an official of the Govenrunent of
India,, we might offend them if we suggested calling him quite simply
"Britqh" Bahrein? (there was a reason, of course, for calling him
'’Britan" in Bushire^, otherwise such an address would be simplest
and also easy for anyone, who did not address him often, to remember#
Otherwise, REPGU (or perhaps something rather less ugly - ? RESPERGUL)
would presumably do - though is there not a ruling which restricts you,
U choosing code names from an existing list of reaJL words? A blank
space on the draft reply has been left for the eventual choice to be ^
inserted#
As regards paragraph A of Colonel Hay*s Express Letter,after
a lot of correspondence with the E.O., R#G#S# and Permanent Committee
on Geographical Names, extending from 1932 to 1938 (on attached
Collection 30/42) it was eventually agreed with the Foreign Office
(PZ. 132/38, at flag) that’Koweit'and'Bahrein'should be accepted. The
main object in securing uniformity within this country is so that the
* passport Office and Telegraph and Post Offices may be in no doubt as to
the place meant. India and the Gulf, however, have on not altogether
sound arguments from Arabic phonetics adopted, and have been pressing us
to adopt, KUWAIT and BAHRAIN, .though if such grounds were valid in
themselves, we should have to give 15 ) such names as Cologne and Florence
and the Government of India should first correct Jubbulpore and Nowshera.
Perhaps, gather than re-open this arid dispute, we might agree to differ
from India and the Gulf. A draft Express Letter MMbar on these lines
is submitted accordingly.
