I discussed this question with Mr.
Weightman while he was here and found that he was
entirely in agreement with Colonel Hay’s view that
the time has come to provide for a nnrnn^f 4^- the
British Adviser to the Sheikh of Bahrein^ and that, if
this can be managed before Belgrave is due to retire
three years hence - so much the better.
The first step seems to be to get it into
the Sheikh*s head that Belgrave should be provided
with an assistant who could be trained to take his
place when he retires, and that when this idea
look
has taken root, we should/round for a suitable man
for the purpose.
I think it would be a good plan to send
a reply to Col. Hay on these lines and I suggest a
draft.
