yet been ratified and the period of six months having long ago
expired, Shaikh Isa's action had became invalid. From what
Mackie tells me however on his return from Bahrain it appears
that Sheikh Hamad does not regard it in this light but still feels
himself bound by his father's action, and that this is the main
factor leading to his refusal to discuss aur terns with us. I
