refrain for the present from taking any drastic steps for asserting pur position,
it follows that, as in the recent case of the ill-treatment of a Bahreini at Lingah,
I shall have to depend chiefly for maintaining our interests and goodname in these
waters upon what can be effected locally with the means ordinarily available. It
is very necessary therefore that I should not be deprived of the fortifying
presence of one of His Majesty’s ships, within easy reach, during the cold
weather.
14. The extension of cable communication in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
. —The proposal
to connect Koweit and Bahrein with Bushire by cable or wireless installation is I
venture to hope receiving favourable consideration. It would be a great advantage
to connect up Lingah at the same time, or at ^ all events British Bassidu with
Henjam, Bassidu being within easy reach of Lingah. It would seem important
also that His Majesty’s subsidised ships should be fitted with wireless as soon as
possible.
15. Improved representation on the
Trucial Coast
A name used by Britain from the nineteenth century to 1971 to refer to the present-day United Arab Emirates.
. —The experience of the
last two or three years makes me doubt whether it is safe to leave these backward
Sheikhs longer in thecnarge of a
Native Agent
Non-British agents affiliated with the British Government.
. I shall shortly address Govern
ment a separate communication on the subject.
16. I have now mentioned the several means which in my view would
materially promote our interests in this region. While doing so I quite realise
that it may not be possible for Government to give lively consideration to them
en bloc ; at the same time I opine that the present juncture is one at which our
interests and future policy must necessarily be subjected to examination and
discussion, and it may, therefore, be convenient that such measures as seem locally
important and desirable should be on record before Government for such consider
ation as may be possible. A copy of this communication is being forwarded
to His Majesty’s Legation,
