Shaikh 1 Abdullah bin Qassim should write to me through
a third person when I was myself in correspondence with
him and had actually received a letter from him the pre
vious day. I informed the representatives that the Na'im
had given an undertaking in the same terms as Shaikh
'Abdullah bin Qassim and I saw no reason for presuming

the Shaikh himself.
3. Towards the end of the meeting I asked him if
they were keeping Shaikh 'Abdullah bin Qassim informed
of the trend of the conversations. They said they were
but that the terms stated at Saturday's meeting were so
impossible that it was not worth reporting them. I told
them that they should keep their principal advised of
everything.
4. Shaikh Nasir then volunteered the information that

other people, Qatar subjects, were Joining the Na'im
gathering and in reply to my remarks that I could not be
lieve that the loyal subjects of Qatar were joining the
Na'im, he stated that the subjects of Qatar were not all

this interview I have come to the conclusion that the
two representatives had not come to Bahrain with any
prac^tical intentions of seeking a solution but that they
were sent because the Shaikh of Qatar desired to be able
About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence related to tensions between Bahrain (and the Al Naim tribe) and Qatar concerning the ownership of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. on the Qatar peninsula that took place between March and June 1937.
At this time, the Al Naim tribe were allied to the Al Khalifa ruling family of Bahrain who claimed Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as a part of their own territory (the family had been based there before their conquest of Bahrain in 1783). The British authorities did not recognise the Al Khalifa's claim to Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and mediated between the two sides. The file contains extensive details of this mediation process.
