Translation of letter dated 26th Jamad Thani

C.I.E., Ruler of Qatar, to Captain T. Hickinbotham, Poli
tical Agent, Bahrain.
your canqp at Karachi. I thank you for the interest you
have "bken in the matter of the persons about w^om I refer
red to you. As to your statement that the Bahrain Govern
ment informed you that some persons claimed Bahrain nation
ality and the Ruler therefore allowed them to come to
Bahrain. My friendI allow me to say that this is incor
rect and that the Bahrain Government are mistaken in
giving you this information. The persons whom I mention
ed to you were my subjects and from Qatar. It is, however,
possible that someone has whispered to them and misguided
them that the debts they owed would be waived if they run
away to Bahrain. On their arrival in Bahrain they were
not prevented from landing but were received by the Bah
rain Government who promised to grant them documents to
enable them to go for diving which made them not to in
terest themselves or care for the debts due from them or
for what they did. This is, as you are aware, an inad
missible and an undesirable act. The Bahrain Government,
by so doing, have exceeded the limit and acted contrary
to rules to be observed in such cases and encroached on
the rights of others. I neither allow nor agree to such
unusual deeds and do not think that you also agree to such
things. I am sure that had you made enquiries inter the
matter and investigated the correctness of the same, you
would have corroborated my statement and it would have
become clear to you that the action taken by the Bahrain
I had the honour of receiving your letter dated
9th August 1937 (1st Jamad al Thani 1356) issued from
