Following for vVRIGHT from BURROWS.
I had short talk at Bahrain about Saudi
frontiers with United States Ambassador Jedda and
Scott-Fox just before leaving to come here. Hay
may be reporting separately. Following are my
purely personal reflections:- This is not just a
dispute between oil companies. Our whole position
m the Gulf risks being seriously weakened by
(a) Saudi encroachments (b) notable increase in slave
trade in and through Sheikhdoms under our protection
(c) general lawlessness and lack of security in
interior of Oman. There are proposals for dealing
with (b) and (c) which I will discuss on my return
but they cannot possibly produce immediate results.
