T,
Please refer to your demi-official letter
No.C/14 dated the 5th January 1947 regarding Zuberah,
2. I am most grateful to you for the very
useful note which you have prepared.
3. I enclose herewith a suggested draft reply
to the Shaikh's letter of 21st Llay 1946. If you have
any comments or criticisms would you kindly discuss it
with me. Otherwise please issue it. *
4. Vvitn regard to the Shaikh's request that he
mi^ht refer his claim to ^ubarah to a committee of
Arab rulers, 1 would suggest that if he returns to the
charge you should call his attention to the statement
contained in the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
Bahrain's letter
No.C/562-4/13 dated 19th July 1937 to his father to the
effect that "His Majesty's Government is the ultimate
authority for deciding questions regarding ownership
between Shsikhs". If he wishes to pursue a claim to
the ownership of
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
, which is presumably what he
means, he should put In a formal and detailed representa
tion for transmission to His Majesty's Government.
I trust however that you will do your best to discourage
him from submitting such a claim.
5. If the Shaikh wishes to repudiate the agree
ment which he signed on 23rd June 1944 on the grounds
that he did not fully understand its contents, I should
see no grave objection, and we should be relieved of a
certain amount of embarrassment. On the other hand it
is desirable if possible to avoid a return to the state
of blockade which existed between Bahrain and Qatar
before the agreement.
Sic.
Lieut.-Colonel A.C. Galloway, CIE., OBL.,
