godosss I oq 'th.c responsibility for protscliion is on th.©
Sbai ^li and I tliink it would be undesirable for the
Coa. any to supply any arms or atetmition to the SLaikli.
The latter can always purchase arms from India or
elsewhere under a "No Ohjection"statement from me,
(2) As far as I am aware, the Treaties with
iatar and the Trucial Chiefs were apparently made only
in Arabic, As long as a very careful Arabic text is
prepared difficulties should not arise.
(s) This raises some important issues and
I will let you have a reply as soon as I can.
4. By the way, the obaikh made one curious
remark in the course of ooovorsation on the 12tht
He said "Supposing some other Oompany not the Anglo-
Persian oil Oompany finally get the conee3sion, do I
have to inform His Majesty's Government after all my
terms with the other Company are arranged, or directly
the other Oompany approaches me' 1 . 1 replied, of
course, that he should inform His Majesty's Government
directly any other Company approached him - if they
ever did. One such "other Company" likely to he
especially interested in Qatar is I imagine the group
which has got the Hasa Concession. Qatar would
doubtless round off their area conveniently. But I
have heard nothing whatever of any such movemert.
I am sanding a copy of this letter, as well
as copies of your two letters of 7th Hovemher, No.
