Re Qatar^ please see pages flagged in the three'' ;
volumes of file 82 /1 submitted,and for the treaty
with Qatar please see page 11 of file 9/55-2. It
v/ill be fceen from the -end of the corresponden^ce
that the then P.R.was in favour of allov/ing the
A.P.O.C.to take up the conceesion in Qatar for v/hich
they had already applied,hut the Colonial Office
v/ere averse from giving this permission. ¥e can
♦
address them again now if you wish,and enquire if
'they are now willing to alter their decision. As
the A.P.O.C.have already asked for the concession,
I think .they "should be held to it and made to sign ^
proper agreement on the lines of the Muscat one
,(page 271 file 82/1-5) and hot#be- allowed to sere a
geologist there for nothing." Incidentally there is
not much high ground*, in Qatar^the highest hill being
only 5CC feet highland there being .^nly one or two
' small ones in adtiit^ioja^the rem^ndjer of the country

Possibly you v/ould li^e^to send t/He two extract
from Sir Arnold's letter marked in blue on Pages l&Z
to Colonies, with any observations that you may wish
to offer on the above lines and your views on the
present practicability of the proposals^ and ask
whether they are now prepared to consider the matter,;
and y if so, v/hether they wish to insist on a proper
agreement in the first instance.
As regards the Islands,this can perhaps be
considered later,but I may mention that Dalmah and
Yas belong to Abu Dhabi, and ITaair, to. Shargah
ana Jalul is, I believe,claimed by both Qatar and by
Abu Dhabi "
