Please refer to the correspondence ending with
Galloway's demi-official letter No.c/338, dated the
10th of ? T arch, 1947. I enclose a translation of a letter
dated the 28th March, 1947, received from the Shaikh of
Qatar in reply to my letter No.C/314, dated the 8th March,
1947, to him. Galloway also informed the Shaikh of Bahrain
that he would let him know the result of the reference he
was making to Qatar, under your instructions, in the matter
of the A1 Bu Rumaih.
2. The Shaikh has rejected our request to prevent the
Al Bu Rumaih from establishing themselves in Qatar, and
I do not see that we can take any action against him for ■
so doing. If you agree to Galloway's suggestion in the
second paragraph of his demi-official letter first quoted
I would now write to the Shaikh of Bahrain informing him
that the Shaikh of Qatar states that
(a) the Al Bu Rumaih have emigrated from
Bahrain with his knowledge, consent ^ a
and permission.
f i v
there have been similar migrations of
Qatar tribes to Bahrain.
(c) he (the Shaikh of Qatar) is ready to come
to a mutual/agreement on this matter. /fapparentl
general)
3. I would add that, provided Shaikh Salman is anxious
to reach an agreement in the matter , I would be prepared—
to ask the Shaikh of Qatar for specific proposals. I am
conscious that this suggestion is a red herring across the
track of the main issue, and I have very little expectation
that an accommodation will be reached; but I see no other
course of action open to us.
