own master for he was bound by the treaty negotiated by
Sir Percy Cox in 1916. He stated that according to the
treaty it was not possible for him, without the permission
of His Majesty^ Government, to alienate any part of Qatar
territory and therefore he could not acknowledge the A1
Khalifah's claim to Zubara. He is alleged however to have
indicated to the envoy that he would personally have no

to the Zubara area if His Majesty's Government would indicate
that they would accord cheir consent to such a proceeding.

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.
