NOTES (1)
(2)
Tlie Company are prepared to pay Rs.1000 for the
two representatives.
The money should be paid direct to the representa<
tives and not to the Sheikh.
Should the Sheikh not agree and order the
present operations to stop the Company are
prepared to withdraw the Staff and would consider
Suspension of the Ruler's dues under Art. 4 of
the convention (presumably at present the annual
payment) during the period of the suspension.
If the Kuwait analogy is accepted as far as
the payments to the Arab representatives are
concerned Rs.1000 is insufficient to cover
two representatives.
The figure of Rs.800 siad to be paid to the
Arab representative at Kuwait presumably rules
out Hamad and will result, in all probability,
in his becoming obstructive in the future.
The present Sheikh presumably cannot
livevery much longer and it is a matter for
consideration and possible presentation to
London this factor should be borne in mind
the present juncture.
