Trucial Coast, and to forward copy of the letters noted
Political Besident*s Express Letter of 1st February,1936,

2. The Marquess of Zetland coticurs in the suggestion
that the Persian Gulf Trucial Coast flag (as shoxvn in
"Flags of all Nations - , plate 31) should in future he
jir
described as tbucial Coast Flag No.2 (Sharjah and Eas-
al-Khaimah)* 1 . He also concurs in the suggestion in
regard to the flag flown hy the other Trucial Sheikhs
(i.e. an ohlong flag, the length being approximately
three times the breadth; about five-sixths of the
flag being red and the remaining one-sixth, that nearest
the mast, white) provided that the mention of Qatar
is excluded. The future description of the fla^,^/
should therefore read ^Trucial Coast Fla^ No,l(Abu
Dhabi, Ajman, Debai and the Umm-al-Qaiwain)' 1 .
3. His Lordship agrees that the two Trucial Coast
flags described above should in future be employed in
lieu of the Muscat Ensign when saluting the Trucial
Sheikhs.
4. In regard to the proposal that the title of the
Bahrain State flag should be changed to "Bahrain
National Flag", His Lordship agrees with the views
expressed by the Political Resident and the Government
of India, and would prefer that no change should be
made in its designation. . / /,, 5 /<r/
