the Shaikh of Sharjah,
Sir,
I have the honour to refer to your memorandum No.
573-S dated the 16th June 1939.
2. In acc ordance m 1h your instmctions I explained
your view of the position regarding Mahkoom bin Baroot at
an interview that X had with His Highness the Sultan on July
the 15th. The Sultan was surprised at the decision and said
tl»t he presumed that now there could he no objection to hie
dealing with Ihe matter in aa:ordanoe with Arab custom. I
pressed for a definition of Arab custom and found that dip-
lomatio approach followed by, at least, the threat of armed
action was meant. We discussed the case in great detail.
contended that it was a private matter between the man Mshkoom
a^dlhe Shaikh of Sharjah and in no way affected the relations
between the two stetes of Muscat and Sharjah. TheJJultan said
ttet from a Western point of view I was very likely right,
Valine with Arabs and must therefore look
but lhat we were dealing wiwi **
aHt from an Arab point of Tiew. The head of the state or
tribe."" where possible, protected his tribesmen and saw to xt
tot they had their due from neighbouring chiefs.
