- Abstract: This file contains correspondence relating to the Standard Oil Company of California's oil concession in Bahrein [Bahrain]. The correspondence is concerned with whether or not it would be appropriate for Imperial Airways to assist the Californian company in developing aerial infrastructure in Arabia.

The possibility of the company forming an alliance/partnership with Germany is discussed by British officials. Copies of the letters were forwarded to the India Office and are included in the file (f 11 is a copy of f 5 and ff 12-13 are copies of ff 6-7).Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at inside back cover with 14; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
