Dear Residency,
Your telegram
of Muscat's desire to employ iirab refugees on certain
posts.
We now enclose herewith a copy of a letter from
the Colonial Office, and enclosure, which is self-
explanatory. We should be grateful if you would arrange
for action to be taken on the lines suggested in this
letter through whatever channels you think best.
Meanwhile we have already asked the Chanceries at
Cairo, Amman, Beirut, Damascus, and Baghdad, the Consulat
General at Jerusalem, and the United Nations Relief for
Palestine Refugees if they can surest any candidates for
these posts.
The Colonial Office have not yet commented on the
possibility of obtaining fisheries officers from Aden,
but we fear that their answer will be negative. The
Commonwealth Relations Office have said that they would
prefer that you should approach the Hi 0 h Commissioner
in Karachi direct, as regards teachers, the British
Council Representative at Beirut may be able to help as
he has for Bahrein.
We are sending copies of this letter and enclosure
to the Consulate General, Jerusalem, and the Chanceries,
Amman, British Middle East Office and Beirut.
Yours ever,
MIDDLE East secretariat
The Residency,
Bahrein
