be made cautiously and in a gradual manner,
(2) that we cannot ta - ;e J '
definite decision as to our future policy in this matter
until we see whether, and on what scale, the American
intrusion materialises;
(3) that our general policy should be directed
towards replacing the Europeans in the service oi the
Sheikh by Bahreinis at as early a date as is reasonably
possible, and that the Indian police force at present
maintained in the islands should, if possible, oe
replaced by Sudanese on the expiry of their contracts in
1931; A* ^
(4)^ that no expectations of indennitely prolonged
service should be encouraged in the European officers
concerned. It may be remarked in^this connection that
Cm.
the Oornmandant of Police is probably^the first to go: if
the American ’’invasion" comes to nothing it will probably
be possible to dispense with him in 1931. From paragraph
16 of Colonel Barrett’s letter it will be seen that he
does not anticipate that it will be possible to dispense
with the Financial Adviser before at least 1942, and
that, in the case of the Director of Customs, it will
take at least seven years from the present date to train
a substitute. Quite clearly the whole position as regarc.s
the retention of these officers will largely depend on trie
coming of the Oil Company, and the scale of its operatior.s
The internal administration of Bahrein is the
business of this Office and the Government of India. But,
in view of the reactions of the correspondence on general
questions of policy in the Gulf, it will, I suggest, be
desirable to give the Foreiga Office and Colonial Office
an opportunity to comment before a decision is conveyed to
the Government of India. I suggest a draft letter.
