Meanwhile however in the drafts which we have actually
presented to the Shaikhs we have included the ten year
limitation. Owing to the refusal of the Shaikhs to discuss
the drafts with us or to formulate any objections they may
have to them we d.o not know whether they have paid any actual
attention to them or have even read them so as to "be aware
of their contents. We should be glad to have your views
therefore regarding the possibility of our getting back the
drafts now in their possession and substituting revised ones,
or of our being able to secure permanent immunity during
the negotiations which must take place before any agreement
can actually be reached with the Shaikhs, It may be that
our best chance of obtaining our ends will be to make no
mention of the matter until they themselves bring it up* If
on the other hand,Holmes has, as we believe offered to pay
ifo export duty on all oil exported, it may be that any
attempt to withdraw from the terms of the draft already pre
sented to the Shaikhs may seriously militate against our
chances of success.
Would it be possible for you to obtain a copy of the
Agreement entered into between Shaikh Issa of Bahrein and
Holmes also a copy of any draft Agreement which he may have
