negotiator and that he felt very deeply hurt when the
communications were addressed to Shaikh Nasir and not to
himself• He said that he had attended the meeting of the
representatives that morning and had purposely refrained
from making any remarks. H again explained to him the si
tuation and pointed out to him that I was unaccustomed to
having persons who asked for an appointment state that
they were engaged when I notified the time for them to
see me and that although I was extremely busy nyself
this morning and had expected that the meeting, which I
knew was to take place, would be postponed, I was pre
pared to grant a second time for an intervie?/ as I had
heard that he was feeling hurt. Saleh bin Mana then
assured me that the whole matter was now quite clear to
him and that he was doing everything he could to settle
the question as the Resident wished. I told him that I
was quite sure that he would work in the interests of his
own party and the general good of the two States and that
he would do his best to meet the wishes of the Resident
especially since the Resident's visit to Doha. Saleh bin
Mana then stated that he wished to discuss the suitable
means of settling the present problem. I pointed out to
him that just as I could not deal with Shaikh Nasir and

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.
