No:G /420-10/3.IV datea tiie 21st April 1934.
Enclosed is original and translation of a letter dated tiae
S'/tii Dhul Hijjail 13b2 (the 12th April 1934) from Snaikh of ^atar
(which I have ventured to open in case it was urgent).
2. Tone of letter is typical of Shaikhs communications and I
doubt whether it betokens any immeaiate danger.
At the same time, it does not commit him to any promise.
3. I have had no information from reporter in Qatar, but have
Hardly had time to do so yet.
4. My personal view is that His Majesty's Government would be
well advised:-
(i) to tell Bin Sa'ud forthwith quite clearly how he
stands about the boundary, and intorm ShaiMi ol Qatar
that it nas been done, and
(ii) to order immediate reconnaisance
as suggested in paragraphs b and 5 ol your telegram i/98 April
Sth.
5. This action would serve as a warning to the Americans as well
as to Bin Sa 'ud, and should make it definitively clear to Snaiidi
of ^atar that we mean business. I much iear that continued
inaction will lose us our present advantage and opportunity.
I am sending a translation of the Snaikn T s letter only by
Printed Letter by air mail to London ana Simla.
