The British policy became more vigorous in the
Persian Gulf sines she'collected that her air com: runication
v /ith India, through Persia, is not safe from cttcu istances
Therefore she deteraind to find a new quarter for her out
side the Persian countries. We learnt that she succeeded
in this by making an a ^iwment with King Bin Sa^d that he
would establish a quarter for aeroplanes (airdrome) in Darin
Island which will be equipped and supervised by English
aviators ano. its object is to train the Najdis* We also
learnt that she (England) intends to transfer the quarter ol
her Political Resident fron Abadan to one of Bahrain ielane
or to Darin itself.
If this is true the iunglish Government has gained
new success in her Arabic policy by her facilitating the
way to brin^: Darin Island, which lies at the gates of ^atil
and which tlw nature has nade into one of the great easterr
harbours, under her control and by transferring her Politic
Resident in Persian Clulf from & Persian country which caiv-
not be relied to an Arab country which there is no fear ol
her at present# 3ut we are still in doubt as to the sound
ness of these views which we obtained about the British
aerodromes v /hich were established in an islands which is f
part of Kajd, Our doubt is due to the abstruseness of the
views first and secondly to o^ir beleif in the cleverness ol
King Bin Sa^d and his persistence on the independency and
security of his country and his wide experience as to the
British policy and her manoeuvres(in policy).
