In case it should not hare come to your notice,I enclose here
with a copy of a publication called 1 Azadi Sharq 1 • The articles
inBnglish on the fourth page are a hjahn fair specimen of its
contents. It is published in Berlin with apparently the sole object
of fostering hatred of the Bnglish. They have recently been sending
free copies around the (Julf to advertise the paper and get Agents.
You will see from the outside cover that they have succeeded in
establishing Agencies in Bahrain # and Lingeh. It has been taken up
her# with avidity and I am informed several persons in Qatar and
Najd are already subsribers. It is printed in Persian,Arabic and
Hindustani and is of the 'Blood and thunder 1 order which appeals
s V " #
to the ignorant population of these localities. I gatflcher from one
of the articles in the paper that it has been forbidden in India.
Would it not be possible to censor and remove from the Post wak in
the Gulf, such Journals as this and f Al Aichbar 1 which can do a vast
amount of harm? It is somewhat Ironical that these invectives ag4iins'
the British should be introduced into these parts by means of the
Post Office which we run for the benifit of the inhabitants.
I have frequently been advised by well wishers of Government here,
•to take stops to stop importation of such publications. Our failure
to do co is regarded in some quarters as a sign of weakness,and ther
is little doubt that such a paper which appeals continually to the
religioua scruples,vide the article about the 'drunken iinglish
Priest 1 helps^to increase the anti-British wave which is becoming
increasingly felt at any rate on this side of the Gulf.
