Dear Mr.Hearn,
The revised draft of the concession which the
Anglo -Persian Oil Canpany are anxious to secure in respect
of the State of Q.atar which was communicated to us at our
meeting with you and Mr.Fraser on the 11th December has now
been examined by the Departments concerned. As you will
see from what follows there are certain points on which we
are not yet in a position to let you know in detail the
views of His Majesty's Government. But we are anxious to
facilitate and expedite so far as possible the course of
your negotiations with the Sheikh of Q^atar and we hope that,
even if further discussion is necessary between the Canpany
and the representatives of His Majesty's Government on certain
points, the information contained in this letter will giv /'e
you a general idea of the position, and will enaole you uo
give the necessary instructions without delay to Mr.CnishoLu.
2. Procedure. We should like in the first place to
make certain suggestions as regards procedure. You will
remember that in the course of the discussion on 14tn December
the attention of the Company was drawn to His Lajesty s
Government's desire to safeguard certain matters such as air,
wireless and telegraphic arrangements, the relation^ of t^e
Conpany with the Sheikh and the local representatives
His Majesty's Government etc., and the suggestion v.ao made
your side that it would be preferable that matters such as
these should not be included in the actual agreement ^...een
the Canpany and the Sheikh and that they might equally
sat isf act orily/
