My dear Garoe,
I enclose a copy of a very interesting interview
that I had with Shaikh Salman on the subject of relations
with ^atar, as you know Bahrain have placed an embargo
on trade and travel to ^atar which has been a great
nuisance to everybody, and their supply through Debai
is a double source of leakage of quota goods.
2. Since his arrival here, Hickinbotham has been
considering ways and means of settling this longstanding
dispute and thinks that he can arrive at some agreement
satisfactory to both sides on the lines of the neutral
zones between Kuwait, Iraq and iiaudi Arabia. He tells
me that the Kuwait neutral zone has worked ver^ smoothly
and that the fact that there is no unified administration
in it appears to worry nobody. 1 presume that neither
His Majesty's Government nor the Government of India can
raise any objection to tuch a solution and am asking him
to pursue the matter on those lines.
3. With the drastic reduction in the cereal quota
and the gradual exhaustion of old stocks of rice the

diminished, but when one has rulers who are quite prepared
to starve their own subjects to make a few

cannot hope for complete security. 1 am sending a copy
of this letter with its enclosure to Peel and Hickinbotham.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence regarding the situation after hostilities that occurred between the Al Naim tribe (supported by Bahrain) and Qatar in Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. in June and July 1937.
The correspondence covers the period immediately following the events and continues for several years until 1946. It contains details of British mediation efforts between the two sides and also includes the text (in English and Arabic) of a reconciliation agreement between the two sides from 1944.
The file also contains a translation of an Arabic-language letter published in the Cairo publication 'Rabitat Al Arabieh' (f. 25). The letter is from a Bahraini and argues that the British had sided with Qatar in the conflict regarding Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as they were afraid that if under Bahraini control, the concession for oil deposits near the town would be given to an American (as opposed to British) oil company as had been done in Bahrain.
