Datod 27th April 1923 #
I hava rec«ived infornation fron th« Political
Agent at Bahrain that on th« 29th April a fracao took plac«
in the Manama bazaar between a Persian and a Ne.ldi, which
developed irto a riot between Nejdis and Persians. No
great harm was actually done and the police easily quelled
the disturbance, butie Persians are^ Politic# 1 understands,
telegraphing protests to Tehran. Political reports that
Bin Saud's Agent, Qasaibi, behaved very badly. He is
believed to have incited the Nejdis to the fray and loclrod
himself in when mischief was well afoot. He was in the end
apologetic and offering to pay compensation assessed for
injuries inflicted.
Am I authorised to tell Bir Saud flatly that we
will not tolerate the presence of Qaraibi or any other
Nejdi ag^nt in Bahrain, and will deport him to Al Ahsa,
unless he confines his activities to merely commercial ends
and refrains from interfering with administrative official
matters. The position in Bahrain is quite complicated
enough without Nejd interference. Qasaibi has been arrogat
-ing to himself the position of Consul, and the present
affair is merely the culminating point of a long series
of petty complaints against him.
