.
Sir,
I have the honour to say that for some time past
the Bahrain Government have viewed with increasing annoyance
the attacks made on them in Egyptian and Syrian papers.
These artciles generally describe the Ruler as a half witted
nonentity, a pensioner of the British, and usually show that
the patriotic inhabitants are manfully resisting our insidious
penetration in spite of great personal danger and persecution.
2. The most pestilent of these periodicals ie
the 1 / 1-Shourah * of Cairo, and a certain ^Qialid bin FerraJ
who was found to be writing inflammatory articles for them
was deported from Bahrain by Captain Alban. I enclose a sam
ple of their handiwork, which shows how the most harmless
of incif entf can be made a vehicle for their venom. Their
present correspondent is unknown, and it is possible that
the articles are posted from Kuwait or some other port.
3. The Bahrain Government have asked that the
Imperial Post Office at Bahrain should be instrcuted to inter
cept all copies of the 1 Al-Shourah • entering Bahrain, and
that it should be declared a proscribed newspaper for these
islands. I warmly recommend their suggestion, and would re
quest that the necessary authority may be issued to the Post
master. ' ost of these papers have a very limited circulation
and when they find that they can be hit by a loss.of subscrip
tions they will learn better manners.
