BAHRAIN,
S .O.No.C/R-224. Dated 9th November, 1948.
Dear Sir Rupert,
The general impression made on Shaikh Khalifah
tin Mohammed by his visit to the United Kingdom was
that the spirit of the people there is very high despite
their difficulties and he was impressed by th^civilisatic
He expressed gratitude to the British Council for the
excellence of their arrangements and said that he was
well and fittingly received by all others whom he met
while carrying out his programme. He was particularly
struck during his study of police work with the latest
methods of crime detection and with the efficiency,
economy in man power, and urobtrusiv neas afforded by the
proper use of motor transport and radio by the police.
Some of the ideas he obtained on this and kindred sub
jects seem a bit advanced for introduction in Bahrain;
but I am sure the visit was successful generally in
broadening Shaikh Khalifah's outlook and particularly
in giving him an idea as to how a police force ought to
be run. This is in reply to your semi-official letter
No,(18/9/4S), dated the 29th October, 1948,
Yours sincerely-
His Excellency Sir Rupert Hay, KCIE, CSI,
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.

Persian Gulf
