T^ e 10^ cut in the Al Khalifa allowances has
been Tracle ; but not without sotre unpleasentness.
It will oe recalled that the cut was to be£*in
pn the 1st I. uharreir,the allowances beinc reduced at the
end of the month, ohortly before the cut was due to be i
made I discovered by chance that Parke had written to
ohaikh Ea»ad and told hir that neither his nor Shaikh laa'sjj
pay nould be eiiected by it. I was obliged to take up the
matter with ohaikh Kairad, since without a reduction of his
pay the cut would lo/se cuch of its value and the retraining
Al Khalifa would not unnaturally object to their pay beinr
reduced while his was left intact. The shaikh finally
agreed but owing to his evident alanr at the probably
results of the cut in his father's pay I did not press it
and as tratters stand shaikh Isa will continue to receive
his full pay.
I asked Parke afterwards what he rreant by sending
such a letter to the shaikh since he clearly had no
authority to go behind a decision that had already been
arrived at by ISelgrave in conjunction with the Political
authorities,and he could only say that he had not known
-hat the cut was to take €fect on Shaikh Hainad as well as
the others. This,I regret to say^l do not believe ; as it
-as quite clear froir the correspondence that all would be
cut equally and 1 think he was solely iroved by a desire
-iate hiirseir with, his employers.
