It is reported that 3haik Abdulla was helpful in obtaining these
concessions for the Bahrainis.If this is really so it may be &n
indication that he means to turn over a new leaf. If so p 11 the
oetter.but it is late in the day & I think probably because he
suspects fxantxtte that some action is contemplated concerning him
It would therefore seem that if the Bahrainis again apply to you,
we should be in a position to say that they seem to have been abl<
to obtain some ifirovements for themselves and should give them a
trial. Your warning to the 3hai^ will make it doubly clear to him
that he will have to ndopt a better attitude towards his subjects
in future. /] f /0) ^
