CONFIDENTIAL.
D.0. No.C/560.
The 10th of Ma/^.1947
You mentioned to me yesterday about the subject
of my demi-official letter No.C/547, dated the 5th May,
1947, and thought that there is no particular necessity
for hurry in dealing with the matter. I now enclose a
copy of a confidential report which I have received from
which you will see that it is imperative that we reply to
the Shaikh without further delay. I am requesting, therefore,
permission to issue immediately the letter to him of which
I sent you a draft with my demi-official letter first quoted.
It will be necessary to see that our reply gets publicity
without its seeming that we are giving the publicity. I will
arrange for this.

2. I thought it/necessary to mention in my previous
letter that the Shaikh's attitude is unprecedented in my
experience of these Arab Rulers, and I am not quite certain
that the concessions being made by our Government in other
parts of the world explain it fully. I am, however, quite
certain that the local position is deteriorating, and that
if we do not take prompt action to make the Shaikh aware of
and behave according to the position which he should hold in
relation to us, we will find ourselves in a situation much more
difficult to deal with than the one which has arisen at present#
