(c) Articles of a technical or financial nature
(such as th»»e mentioned in articles
2 to 6, 7 and 9) regarding which the
Shaikh is unable to look after his own
interests without expert advice from
His Majesty's Government,
if the Shaikh d is cusses the draft with the Company before
His Majesty's Govermient 1 s views are known, he may con
cur with some of the articles under (b) and (c) which
His Majesty's Government may later have to object to,
either on their own behalf or on behalf of the Shaikh.
An awkward situation would thus obviously arise for His
Majesty's Government, vim a vis both the Shaikh and the
Company. It seems better, therefore, to obtain His
Majesty's Government's views firtt and then for the
Shaikh to discuss the matter with the Anglo-jPeraian Oil
Company. I have explained my point of view generally to
Mr. Chisholm.
I have the following comments to make on the
proposed draft agreement.
Article 1.
Bander Shuwaikh should presumably be exempted
as well as a possible cantonment area near Has-al -Ardh
(vide Bushire despatch Mo. 42, dated 6th October 1930).
The period covered by this article, which is apparently
tor Exploration, is two years. This seems reasonable.
