not think that anyone else ia likely to endeavour to obtain it;
and we shall then he able to wait until Ibn Sand or (if, as I
think "by no means improvable, Ms kingdom "breaks up) the future
ruler of the Hassa prorinoe is really hard-up for money. If Ion
Saud cancels the E.G.S. concession, our prospects in Koweit and
Bahrain will be favourably affected.
It would be of great assistance if you could let us know
definitely whether Holmes has paid to Ibn Saud the money due
within 60 days of the signature of the Concession and whether he
has produced - or is about to produce - any geologists or other
persons in fulfilment of his undertaking to start work within o
months of the signature of the ooncession. If we could definitely
establish that he has not done so, it would be of great assistance
to us in driving home the argument that the B.G.S. is financially
incapable of working the concession and that Ibn Saud would there
fore do well to get out of it as soon as he can; thus leaving the
field free for others to make offers.
Yours sincerely
