in the Persian Gulf,
Bushire.
Memorandum
I enclose herewith a copy of a memorandum No. S-
419 datea 28th June 1940 feceived today from the Resi
dency Agent, Sharjah.
2. I am inclined to agree with the Residency A.gent
that we should not overlook the disloyal action of the
Shaikh of Sharjah's Secretary, feut it must be acknowledged
that we are somewhat restricted at the moment in the
action we can take. It may suffice to write to the Shaikh,
reminding him of the letter which we sent to him on the
outbreak of war calling for his co-operation against the
enemy and of his reply (copy was enclosed with my memo-
randum no. C/563 dated the 19th September 1959). We
can point out that his Secretary has committed no minor
misdemeanour and ask him to state at once what action he
proposes to take to implement his promise that he will
punish severely persons who fail to "avoid all topics which
the High British Government disliken. This theme can be
expanded a little in the hope of frightening or cajoling
the Shaikh into effective action.
3. As for the man Tiradas Dhamanmal, I can probably
arrange through his employer here for his departure from
the Trucial Coast.
Political Agent, Bahrain.
