, £# As regards shipments from Bahrain Ministry of Economic
Wax'iare are anxious that an export licensing system should
be introduced. Can you arrange to do so. In co—operation
if necessary with Bahrain Government, and ask Political Agen*
to telegraph here for instructions before issue of an export
licence for snipment of oil to any destinations other than
British possessions ? For your confidential information
immediate ooject is to control exports to Tenyriefe,
3, As regards shipments from Has Tanura, His Majesty's
Government have of course no legal power to control this
traffic at point of shipment and there cji be no question
of making regulations applicable to it. Nor is there at
present any occasion for providing facilities for oil ship
ments for European destinations (though cuestion of intro
ducing navicert system for oil shipments from Arabia is
under consideration). Company may therefore be informed
1 accordingly. Shipments to other than British destinations
should however be reported to me by Political Agnnt by tele

I should add that His Majesty's Government are seeking co
op ration of American authorities to exercise some check on
excessive shipments by American Companies to Spanish desti
nations,
