2« We have consulted Fowle regarding paragrapfe
3 and agree in confiurrence with him that recognition of
Hamad should be granted if he finds this necessary to
secure Shaikh's compliance with our request. This
departure from principle of non-interference in internal
questions affecting Trucial States can, we think, be
justified as a special case by practical necessity of our
increasing interest in Qatar owing to oil developments.
Hamad is, moreover, we understand, the only successor#
3. We also suggest that in view of remarks
contained in paragraph 4 of your telegram Fowle should be
authorised to accede to Shaikh^ request regarding juris-
-diction over subjects of Kuwait, Bahrain and Trucial
Coast (vide paragraph 6(l) of Fowle # s telegram Mo. 372
of April 22nd) if he cannot otherwise obtain Shaikhs
concurrence to oil agreement. Fowle concurs with this
