find it necessary to include in the draft concession re^ardine
the Shaikh's jurisdiction over British or foreign nationals
by adding a^few words to the following effect;- " as lone-
as sjch .jurisdiction Is In no way contrary to any a^reeinent
wTMeh the Shaikh has with His Majesty's Government."
I am not altogether surorised to find that the Shaikh
questioned you with regard to his position should any other
Conroaijjr approach him for the purpose of obtaining the concession,
although up_to the present he has made it obvious that he really
wished to give the concession to us and that he had no desire
to give it to any other ComDany.
I much appreciate your reply to the Shaikh's ouestion
and if you are at any time able to give me any further inform
ation bearing on this subject, I should of course be very Dleased.
A
As you say ' "^e 'other Company 1 is more than likely to
De the group ?/hich obtained the Hasa Concession, but it is 4
possible that the Arabian Development Syndicate, which was
registered in London lasTTmonth, may^OTTo be interested.
o
I hope that Chisholm will return from London with good
prospects of concluding an agreement with th e Shaikh and on hi s
reuurn t rom Dohah I will lose no time in acquainting you with
the latest developments in the proceedings.
Yours sincerely,
Ueut-Col. T.C.W.Fowle, C.B.S-,
