patience they (the Government) found that the state of things at Bahrein en
tirely wanted reform. Your Highness will remember that the Government re
peatedly called upon you to adjust the state of your Government. One of thesd
demands was made in March i 922 A. I), I in pursuance of the directions of
the Government called at your island and called upon you to begin, and
secondly in the month of April Iq 22 when your “ Shia” subject could no
longer put up with the oppression exercised on them and were agitated, and
sent me and to the Government complaints in writing. You personally
promissed to make some improvements to pacify them But, my friend, you
never made any improvement at all nor did you reply to the final demand of
the Government about ^our fulfilling your promises ; and as oppression and
tyranny in your island became a general shame the Government was obliged to
introduce reform > and therefore ordered the reforms to be introduced through
Major Dally and Colonel Knox whom practically you do mention. I am sure
your Highness knows that well but since you ignored it and did not mention
in your application I am compelled to make you know of it anew, and then 1
inform you that my duty is what was of Colonel Knox and will act upon the
orders of the Government and will hasten the reforms the object of which is to
introduce good treatment, equality and unbiassed justice to all. Consequently
I am resolved to hasten to introduce the reforms. We draw your attention
as well as of the other signatories to the application to the above. It is regretable
that you did not heed our advice and that of the Consul and that yourself did^
not introduce the necessary reforms. This is what I had to inform you.
