with him that wo shourd send as soon as possible at least
two new entrants to the ersian Gulf to train both in the

are now shout to do this and we propose that the first new
entrant should fill the 8/9 post of Under-, aeretary and that
the second should be attached to the Political .esident as
additional Under-necretury for training and such duties as
may be required- You will see that the clinical Keaidont

provision for commercial work. e would prefer to leave
these suggestions for the time being but the Political

omitting for the time being tho additional posts he asks for
at the Political Agencies at Bahrain, Kuwait, 3harja and
