Title:

Situation of Persian Gulf Residency. Arguments for and against Kowiet and Bahrein as alternatives to Bushire

Scope & Content:

Memorandum on the potential of Kuwait (sometimes referred to as Koweit) and Bahrain (sometimes referred to as Bahrein) as the location for the Persian Gulf Residency should it be moved from Bushire. The document contains a short forward by John Gilbert Laithwaite of the India Office, dated 10 January 1930. The bulk of the memorandum is formed from telegrams and letters sent by Lieutenant-Colonel Cyril Charles Johnson Barrett, acting Political Resident, to the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India, Simla, during July and August 1929.

The document is organised into two parts, as follows:

I: Arguments for and against Kuwait, with numbered points for and lettered points against, with additional suggestions for how to remedy some of those points against.

II: Relative merits of Kuwait and Bahrain. A subject by subject comparison, covering the following matters: Political, Commercial, Situation, Communications, Climate, Accommodation, Water Supply, and Amenities.

The memorandum closes with a few concluding remarks by Barrett.
