as possible , There are obvious reasons, but I have another
to urge ~ I want to get the vernacular office into orcEer
before launching out on such a venture. For some months I
have been 'Vorlcing with Mtrza 'Abdul Husain helped by the
daftri , as up to the present I have not been able to get a
second vernacular clerk, though I hope to soon. The former is,
I think, doing his best as he had a fright, but as head of an
office is futile. Keeping the place straight is a job like
the Augean stable of old !
A second point is about Hasav/is and other Arabs with
whose rulers
^p^/.Snaikh ! Isa claias to have agreements. In the recent
rudder case I thought it unlikely that G-overnment v/ould have
considered the question , and ^s I had to write at once to
get the rudder returned , I sent the Shaikh a letter telling
him that G-overnment were busy with war work etc,etc, which
pacified him for the moment. The matter touches his dignity
(in which I certainly sympathise with him) and I have no
doubt that as soon as we broach the

re-open the question. Though I have not been able to study
the matter sufficiently to put forward an official opinion,
it seems to me the moment would be propitious for a graceful
surrender of our jurisdiction , keeping only a right of
intervention in an extremity of injustice, thereby ridding
ourselves of an ever present cause of friction and , incid
entally, of a good deal of petty litigation. It would al &0
help wonderfully in smoothing over the khidmah question. Of
course there are other sides to the question , but as I said
above it is sure to be raised and giving then will be giving
twice. Do you think anything of the sort .is possible, otherwjae
