supporter of His Majesty's Government, tnen let him
do so by deeds and not merely by verbal protestations.
There is plenty that he can do in putting an end to
any form of pro -Nazi talk in Sharjah and in promoting
pro -Eritish feeling, and I shall wait with interest to
see exactly what he does. The letter will then go on to ^
that I am sending to each British subject in Sharjah who
signed the document dated the 17th jamad/11,1359, a full
copyi of that document so that they may know, clearly and
without possibility of misunderstanding, exactly what tney did
sign; and I will add that I am telling tnese British
subjects that as they have in effect guaranteed the loyalty
of a certain man, they have undertaken a responsibility
which I shall expect them to discharge, that responsibility
being to inform me at once through the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. Ag^nt if
they see or hear of anything done or said by Abdullah bin
paris which is not consonant with the terms of the certifi
cate of loyalty which they have given him.
4, i aiscussed this idea with the Resiaency Agent who said
he thought that it would meet the case admirably; and if
you approve of it I would request you to telegraph the one
word "Approved" to captain Howes at Bahrain who can then issue
the necessary letters on my behalf.
