Inference your memorandm Ho. 88/0 dated the 25rd
May 192B.
I do not think it advisable to take any action just
at present in this matter. But should Abdul Aziz al
C^usaibi show signs of becoming more truculent you
miglit, if you see no objection, write to Bin Saud
drawing attention to his letter dated the 29th July
1920 to Major Dickson, in which he expressed his-
gratitude to His Majesty # s Government for undertaking
to look after the welfare of his subject® residing in
Bahrain, and adding that this belong so, and consequently
N.e jdis. being under jurisdiction of yourself as representative
of His Majesty's aovemment you presume that Qusaibi is
merely his business agent in Bahrain and as such should^
not interfere in matters affecting the welfare of Hajdis,
for which the Political Agent is responsible. Tou .might
also suggest that it would improve matters considerably if
Bin Saud Vould kindly make Q.usaibi f s position, in Bahrain
quite clear to him, as lately he has shown signs of
desiring to take more upon himself than he is entitled to.
