CHAPTER LII.
Proposed establishment at Bahrein of a branch of the Imperial Bank
of Persia, 1900.
450. M. Van Lennep, the Manager of the Shiraz Branch of the Imperial
Bank of Persia in accordance with in-
Secret e .. Nobember 1900. Nos. 85-28. structions received by him from his Board
of Directors in London, visited Bahrein in June 1900, with a view to ascertain
whether it would be worth while to open a branch of the Bank at Bahrein. He
felt satisfied that the Bank would make a profitable business, and submitted his
report accordingly to the Board in London. The Chief was not favourably
disposed to the scheme, as it would prejudice the interests of the Baniah Savkars
of the place, to whom the Chief was indebted considerably and who made a
lucrative business by levying exorbitant interests. The Chief accordingly wrote
to Colonel Kemball objecting to the proposed scheme. Colonel Kemball did
not reply the Chief's letter, and instructed Mr. Gaskin to lose no opportunity of
endeavouring to influence him to take a right view of the matter.^ Colonel
Kemball thought that the establishment of the Bank in Bahrein should
receive every encouragement at our hands as tending to increase the commer
cial prosperity of the place and at the same time to advance our own political
interest.
