BAHRA1H,

3 Z
Will you please refer to Pelly's letter
of the th June« last aent^nce and hla letter
Ho. C/800 dated the 16th July, 1947?
2. I hare In conTersatlon pointed out to the
Shaikh that paragraph 5 of my letter «0,3/324 of the
9th March, 1947 1 referred to the pajt and phrased
In the past tenae* My atatenent was cased on the
fact that the Al Khalifah came to Bahrain from
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
but if the ahaikh wishes to deny, or evade tae point,
that the Al Khalif ah did have •- In the past time •-
privileges In iubartih he i« a.t liberty to do so* Ho
man may, however, be considered at liberty to construe
my word a •*» expressed in the past tense as meaning
the present time* Under no olrouma tanoes, can 11 be
said that I used the preeent tense, and 1 do not and
never have Admitted that the Al Khalifah now have
rights or privileges or property in
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
3* I agree with Pelly that his letter of the
17th March 1947 (C/363) sufilolently covers the point
regarding 'privileges'. It Is not admitted that the
Al Khalifah have prlvilegefe no» and to waste more time
on what appears to be a quibble will get ud nowhere.
4. With regard to the penultimate sentence of
Pelly'a letter iio.C/6S8 dated the Itth June, 1947, I
have written no letter whatever to the shaikh on this
subject, or any other except on social matters, which has
not passed officially through the records.
b* 1 am writing this letter as guidance if the
Shaikh reverta to the matter, epd it does not call for
any immec ia te act ion.
