Perhaps you remember question of jurisdiction over Hasawis
in Bahrain which Shaikh Isa har^ always been claiming more espe
cially since Bin Saud turned out Turks. I have received follow
ing from Loch (No.l6~C dated 15th February) x x
x ends and have replied No.300 drted ■ 16th February
begins ( as above ).
Do you think it any good reminding Government? It seems
doubtful if they can settle matter now - or do you think in view
of our present relations with Bin Saud we should consult him as
to treatment of his subjects in Bahrain,
