Sir,
1 have the honour to invite a reference to my
Printed Letter No.95-S of 17th February 1932, enclosing
for your information letters exchanged between Yusuf Yasin
and myself regarding the subjects discussed during my
visit. It will be seen from paragraph 2 of that letter
that Yusuf Yasin agreed that Hindu traders should be
permitted to enter Qatif temporarily for a period not
exceeding two months oneach occasion.
2, In this connection I would venture to invite a
reference to Mr Stonehewer Bird’s Despatch No.96 of 18th
June 1928 to His Majesty’s Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs. It will be seen therefrom that on that occasion
King Ibn Saud allowed certain Baniahs to return to Qatif
for three months to settle their affairs, and also agreed
to periodical visits to Qatif during the date season. It
is not quite clear whether this permission was limited
to the two individuals whose case was then under
consideration, namely, Ratanmal son of Kanaymall and
Maganmal son of Chonamal, or was intended to apply to Hindu
merchants in general. However, that may be, from that
time no Hindu merchants have been allowed to visit the
H&sa coast for the purpose of trade, and, as far as I am
aware, no practical effect has been given to the under
taking therein given.
3. The Political igent, Bahrain, has discussed the
matter
His Britannic Majesty’s Minister,
British Legation,
Is Ida.
