7* Valuable ue has been tne good-will of tha Arab Btates
in the past it will 9 in ray opinion, be at ill more valuable in
the future* The whole of the Arab aide ia changing, and with
extraordinary rapidity* In the laat ten years from a c il de a^c
it haa become an international highway of the flret importance*
Oil-fielde are apringing up* Into certain of the Arab states
money ia pouring in, and in all of them new ideas are fermenting*
Two reoent movements at <Uwalt and )ubai are significant cases in
point* A fe* years ago these movements would have taken the form
of an attempt, whether successful or not, of a rival to put him-
self in the poeition of the Bhalkh* Nowadays, however, these
movements took the democratic form of the people in general getting
more power into their own hands. There is much in my personal j
opinion that is healthy in these movements, ana in any case wnether
w# llxe them or not we must make tne best of tnea since under
modern conditions they are inevitable* But tnqy will equally
inevitably bring in their train difficulties of the sa^ie nature
with which we have been only too familiar elsewhere, in India
and gypt, for example, to compare very large States to very
small ones. There has recently been agitation in Bahrain,
accompanied by minor labour troubles in the oil-field, and both
there and in Kuwait Youth Movements have arisen* neither the
labour troubles nor the Youth Movement are as yet serious, but
(and this is a factor which must not be ignored merely because
I it is a truism) with every year that passes ths youths are growing
into young men, exercising more and more influence in the States,
while behind them more and more boys are following in their
footsteps. )f the young Bahraini in a reoent letter *eightsuu)
