Bahrain may not be to Id this. „ o
5. On the strength of Hickinbotham*s letter
No, C/968 dated the 24th June 1944, I was under the
impress ion up to date Uia t both parties recognised
the fact that the agreement of 1944 "restored the status
quo ante 1936". It now appears that this is not the
case and in these circumBtances the whole agreement is
quite useless and we mua t endeavour to bring about
another one.
4. I am still of opinion trjit our main effort
should be to persuade the Shaikh of Qatar to leave the
tower at Jalat Marir un~ garrison ad and un- repaired if
he cannot be induced to demolish it. Circumstances
now are very different from what they were in 1375 and
I think it is incumbent upon us to e^dsavour to bring
about some modus vivendi between the two Shaikhs.
5. Can you see any hope of bringing about a
more detailed and satisfactory a^Q^ent ?
Political A^ent,

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.
