3. A second point which has emerged is that
Iwinmi. iuppiffiri—P
the 1914 Convention speaks of the blue line as
separating the Turkish territory from the "territory"
of Qatar, and not merely, as in the case of the 1913
Convention, from the "peninsula" of C c atar. We are now
of opinion that this further strengthens our case for
contending that the negotiators of the Convention
intended to regard the territories to the east of the
•"blue line" as politically appertaining to the
Sheikhdom of Qatar and not merely as geographically
attached to the Qatar peninsula. This point seems to

the "blue line" as a real and valid boundary, it will
be essential to take up some positive attitude about
the political status of the territory to the east of it.

merely commit Ibn Saud to maintaining peaceful relations
with the Sheikhs of Qatar and the Qnan coast, but also
constitutes a clear recognition by him of the special
treaty relations of His Majesty's Government with those
Sheikhs - a recognition which seems to me to preclude
Ibn Saud frcm himself acquiring or claiming any kind of
overlordship or suzerainty over those Sheikhs or over any
v, -

their sphere. It seems to me in fact that Article 6 of the
Treaty/
