Dear Miss Monroe,
I enclose for ease of reference, a copy of telegram
No.T/1077 from the
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.
in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
,
of which a copy has already been sent to the Ministry of
Information officially, on the subject of a successor to
Mr.Bertram Thomas as Public Relations Officer in the Persian
Gulf#
We have not of course seen a copy of the Ministry's
letter of the 22nd October to Mr. Bertram Thomas, and should
be glad to have the Ministry's comments on this telegram.
The only observation which we have to make ourselves at
this stage is that we are inclined to doubt the desirability
of closing down the Bahrein radio. Bahrein is I think about
the only place in the Arab world from which we can directly
put out propaganda in Arabic, a consideration which would seem
to give Bahrein a clear advantage over such outside centres
as London or Delhi.
Yours sincerely,
(Sgd.) R. PEEL
Miss E. Monroe,
Middle East Division,
Ministry of Information.
