2. Should Saudi Government (vide
Political, Bahrain's, telegram of April nth, Tfo.Sl)
show definite signs of developing Ras l&nurah as a
port it will obviously be necessary to reconsider
position. in that event concession now granted
/ w ' ■
will be of little value to Saudis so that denunciation
alone will not help Bahrain greatly and it may be
necessary to revert to policy originally approved in
^ ~ "" ' ' ^ : - -■ - - •
your telegram of Tanaary Bb. 325. But in order
that Bahrain Government may retain freedom to meet
such contingency we recommend that Glause should be
inserted permitting denunciation by either party after
one year on giving three months notice. if this
is considered impracticable the duration of agreement
should not in our opinion be fixed for more than two
years.,
