Bahrein. Please refer to Secretary of State's telegram
received April 13th and your 4601 Ai-)ril 15th. Letter is under
preparation biit it is thought that it may be better to defer
reply to Sheikh Abdulla for the present on the grounds that if
control of Bahrein shortly passes from hands Government of India
you may prefer to deal with the case yourself and that in view
by
of future arrangements there is nothing to be gained/emphasizing
fact that Government of India is the only channel through which
we can approach His Majesty* s Government. Do you agree?

Your telegram of 20th April 466.S.
I think present case had better be d alt v/i th by the Govt,
of India as - L see no prospect of Bahrein passing from control
of Government of India for another 12 months and ■ L consider present
m
application should oe dealt with by some higher authority than
myself.
I should oe grateful however if the Government of India
could see their way to telegraph text of proposed reply
