positions ana duties". Report immediately
and discuss i'ully v/ith Political. Work which
Shaikh threatens to suspend is work solely in his
interests and not ours and you should be prepared
to withdraw all personnel from Qatar pending agreement."
The claim of the Shaikh ox Qatar to the appointment ^ S
of two representatives of his own in connection wiji^fne
Company's work is based, as you know, upon^^ragraph 3 of
Mr. Mylles' letter to him dated llaj 1935. This letter
specifies that the appointments are TI on condition that these
salaries shall be reasonable and in keeping with their
positions and duties 71 . The Company is anxious to honour this
and all other obligations into which it has entered, but it
does not feel that this need in the present case involve
paying Hs.3,050 p.m. into the Shaikh's pocket. His
quotation of the Kuwait Oil Company's Concession seems
entirely irrelevant, as the Company which concluded that
Concession is entirely distinct from Petroleum Development
(Qatar) Ltd., while the representatives visualised in
Articles 16 and S(c) of the Kuwait Concession evidently
differ fundamentally from anything which the Shaikh of Qatar
will be able to provide. Moreover, payment of the salaries
at Kuwait is to the individual representatives, and not to
the Shaikh.
If the Shaikh of Qatar indicates his nominees, we are
fully prepared to pay them, as from the date upon which they
assume duty, salaries which will be reasonable and in keeping
with their positions and duties. Our present suggestion is
Rs.100 p.m. each.
Cur present activities in Qatar are in the direction of
honouring the obligation contained in paragraph 1 of Mr.
Mylles'/
