Many thanks for your personal IU0. of 14th
May 1934.
1 don't think that it made any difference to the
situation that an Intelligence Officer did not accompany
the A.P.O.C. on their reconnaissance in Qatar, This
situation as you know is as follows. ie are ready to
•••
promise the Sheikh protection, but not until he gi^es
the oil concession to the A.P.O.G. So far he has steadily
refused to do thisfc
(a) because the A.P.O.G. do not see their way to
accepting his large financial demands.
(b) because he is afraid of Bin Saud with whom he
'
has certain vague and subterranean arrange
ments which have rendered our offer of
protection less attractive than it might
have been.
If an Intelligence Officer had accompanied the A .P.O.G.
party it would not have affected the Shaikh^s views in any
way, and we would have been exactly where we are now.
2. #ith regard to (b) above, I have informed the
| / Shaikh on behalf of His Majesty^ Government that his
arrangements with Bin Saud are against his treaty with us
