Morrah country is necessarily his# While we may admit that
he has considerable influence (I am trying to get more precise
information) over tribe at the moment this influence is not of
long standing and would be cast off rapidly should his power
wane or Jiluwi die. 1 would suggest that even if it suits
us to allow Bin ^a'ud sovereignty over any such area 9 we should
explain that we do so for friendship and not because we admit
that territorial sovereignty necessarily follows influence of a
few years standing over a tribe: otherwise he may work up other
and more extensive claims*
6# If a communication to Bin Sa 1 ^ as suggested in
paragraph 4 of Fowle f s telegram of 26th June 676 is contemplated
would it be possible to include some form of warning that we
are under an obligation to protect our friends by land in order
to discourage fomenting tribal unrest#
