truly r«pres«iit tk« Matter of Abdulla Qosnibl.Tk® point ie that
Aodulla Qosaibi k&s absolutely no vaBinoss in Bakrain
at all now* Ho is <& always has b«en for yoaro th® manager of
i
the Hassa br neh of the Q qsaibi T s business. The whole of the
time I have been at Bahrain he has novel* 00 He Were exeept Just
before he was sent away, v* hen he eaae to take o "^er the Bahrain
braneh temporarily while Abdul Aziz tooic over the Bombay Braneh
during the absenee of the third brother in Paris. Abdul Aziz has
returned A Abdur Hahitau is also here oe another brother Saad.
When Abdul Aziz tame baei he ealled on me St ^aong other matteite
mentioned that he had heard that Abdulla was being baeked by Bin
Sand to oome bae3c t & said he thought it was veiy foolish of him
to foree tho paee & that he had no reason whatever for eoming
hare A he (Abdul Asia) had writton to him urging him to give
up the idei, at present. Syed Hashim also admitted to me that
Abdulla had no business here & that it was really a political
move, in order that it might be represented that he hnd eome
banli in dafiiVnee of our wishes. T told Syed Xlashim that I should
not opT5a«e his return,but he must sae that his return now with
a purely politieal objoet is se&reely caleulated to ease the
situation. Syed EashiM agreed end Hdmlttcd privately that the
object was so to speak f to seore a point* off us I
I hpva reason to believe that sinee Bin Saud wrote his letters
to vou whieh were b sed solely crn Abdulla's own statements,he has
been enlightened by a good many other people,though he is hardljf
likely to ad lit that he has aade an er ror in baekinp: Abdulla„
