c*b \ .Q-l
1V^ dear Laithwalte, |v'n '
With reference to the draft telegram to Powle
with regard to the conclusion of an agreement with the
Sheikh of C^itar in return for the agreement of un oil
concession to the A.P.O.C,, one gets the impression that
Powle is offering to the sheikh a guarantee of unlimited
protection which, as you will appreciate, we could not
possibly implement. We know, of course, that in point
of fact this is far from heing so and that Powle fully
understands the position in this respect and is acting
f'S a*2.7
in accordance with your telegrauM^583 and 585 of the 2nd
March 1934, to him. since when he has also seen the Air
Council latter 3*32797 of the 19th March 1934? so we feel
confident that he himself is fully in the picture.
Nevertheless we would "be grateful if in your
reply to him, you qualified paragraph 2 by adding words
to the effect that you presume he has impressed on the
Sheikh that the limited guarantee of protection which
are offering would not absolve him from taking all
possible measures to provide from his own resources for
his own defence and for maintaining order within his own
boundaries.
As I mentioned to you on the telephone, we
feel there might be a real risk of the sheikh tacitly
assuming that he need no longer bother about defence> and
