Dear Miss Waterlow,
Newsam has passed to me your letter of 30th May
about the Sultan of Muscat's desire to employ 10 Arab
refugees for certain technical and teaching posts.
I am afraid that the only records of ex-Palesti-
nian Officers we have available in London are those
re uired for computation of retiring benefits and
there are no detailed reports which would enable us
to recommend suitable candidates from the roll of
officers. I would mention that there were over 2,000
teachers on the establishment oi the Palestine Bduca"
tion Department, the majority of them being Moslems,
and you will arpreciate that in the absence of
confidential reports on their service we have no
material for selection. This position.also applies
to doctors and there is the added difiiculty in the
case of these personnel that the offer must be made
sufficiently attractive to draw the right type of.
practitioner. We assume that the Sultan has in mind
Moslem doctors and that presents another difficulty
as there are not many of them in Palestine. We
understand that Palestinian doctors are doing very
well in the Arab areas of Palestine and the neigh
bouring Arab Territories and earning anything from
£100 to 200 a month. We have heard.of one Palesti
nian doctor who was offered an appointment in Bahrein
at a monthly salary of £150 plus free quarters and
the right of private practice. We can suggest one
doctor who would probably be prepared to accept an
appointment on these terms and I enclose such
particulars as are available regarding him. He
could probably suggest the name of another Palesti
nian doctor who would be prepared to accept on the
terms mentioned.
jf it is considered that the recruitment of
teachers through the United Nations Belief for Ar^D
Refugees will be a slow process we suggest that an
advertisement be inserted in local newspapers in
Jerusalem and Nablus, inviting applications
Applicants should be required to produce Certificates
of Service issued to them by the former Palestine
Government. Alternatively, contact might be made with
Mr. Labib iuleihan, Hue Jean d'Ark,.Beirut, Leoanon,
who was Chairman of the Palestine Civil Service
(2nd Division) Association. We understand that he is
keeping in touch with the various centres oi ^de
re resentative bodies of the former Government Ofiicers
and he will no doubt be aDle po supply names of
teachers willing to accept employment in Bahrein.
I am sorry that we are not in a position to be
more helpful in this matter and I must apologise ior
the delay in replying to your letter. This is due to
attempts to obtain more detailed information.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Fowler.
Miss Co Waterlowo
Yours sincerely,
Sd/- H.NXELD,
