leitmotif was that the Shaikh of Qatar had not observed his
side of the agreement reached last June. The agreement is
so vague that it is extremely difficult to determine who is
either breaking or keeping it. It did not, as Mr. Gandhi
would say, result in any "change of heart" and it is hard to
believe that relations are really much improved.

Reference paragraph 80 of Bahrain intelligence Summary
No. 10.
The Indian Film Unit have been prevented from visiting
the scene of the pearling operations so far, first by their
unwillingness to go to sea in the launch provided for them,,
and secondly by a strong "shemal" wind which blew during the
last few days of this period. They have filled in time filming
Bahrain and hope to take a further set of photographs of Bapco
and B.O.A.C. installations and personnel.
On the 10th June, they visited Sharjah by R.A.F. plane
and took shots of the B.O.A.C. Station there and planes alighting
and leaving.
