their purpose, erefineries, pumping stations, harbours,
pipelines, workshops, etc. The meeting was inclined to think that
the simplest course might be to draw a distinction between
constructions of this nature and communications taken in a broad
sense - wireless, roads, railways, etc. - and that in discussions
with the Company we should aim in the first place at making the
Company's rights under the first sub-paragraph of the article
subject "to the agreement of the Sheikh which shall not be
unreasonably withheld". (The Petroleum Department did not wish
to support any arrangement which gave the Sheikh the right to
interfere with the construction of any works See . necessary to the
operations of the Company, and pointed out that roads, small-
gauge railways and telephones were an essential part of any large
scale operations.) If this proved impossible to endeavour to
make a special exception in respect of conmunications and wireless,
putting them on a different footing from the other matters referred
to. It was thought that here, as in the case of Article 2, the
importance of walking extremely carefully, having regard to local
conditions, might be impressed on the Company.
( c ) Mr.Warner raised the question whether steps should be
taken to secure the participation of the political authorities in
dealings between the Company and the Sheikh after the granting of
the Concession. Mr.Laithwaite t while agreeing as to the
j desirability in principle of ensuring this, drew attention to the
j difficulty of requiring or enforcing it so long as we had no
resident political representative in C^atar.
Article 7^ ( a ) was a g ree< i that the desirability of
specifically safeguarding the position of any aerodromes acquired
0 u us in Qatar should be considered in connection with this article.
(b) Attention was drawn to the possibility that considerable
^reas might be in the possession, not of the Sheikh, but (as
ppeared in the past to have been the case elsewhere on the Arab
littoral) of the Jowasimi Arabs* That was, however, a point for the
C ompany.
