Col. Daly’s ambition has always been to succeed to the
Bushire Residency towards the end of his service, since his
experience has all been Arabian and Persian. In 1936, on
the Kashgar proposal fallin through, a post m Baluchistan
%
was suggested to him, but he took leave instead (one year,
including six months on full pay, from November 1936); he has
much more leave to his credit and could convert present leave
to two years on half pay, but if he does this, thinks he
must decide before full pay leave expires.
The object of Col. Daly’s call at the Office was to
seek advice privately as to the prospects of his being
considered for the reversion of the Bushire Residency on Co±.
Fowle vacating it. he knows that the latter desires an
extension, but he thought dates might tit if the extension
were only for one year, or if Col. '• took long leave be j. o.e
retirement and Col. D. extended his leave.
Col. D. wants to have some indication of probability
because of leave question.
Col. Daly evidently has a feeling that he has not bee a
very well treated, and if he were not considered tor tne Calf
appointment would find it difficult to understand, the reason,
especially in view of the letter sent to him in 1921 on hi
appointment to the Political Dept., since there is nothing,
that he is aware of, against him m his previous service.
(He is obviously suitable for the Gulf appointment on grounds
of seniority, experience and .knowledge of Arabs.) he
wondered whether he was ruled out by.a recent Political De
circular which apparently indicates that previous service
