IvLr. Laithwaite said that
(b) / ti is article raised th e diffic ult question of
jurisdiction. The Company had rra.de it clear that they
were not prepared to accede to the Sheikh's request that
disputes between its employees and his subjects should be
decided by him and it would probably be necessary to
reach some agreement with him over the cession to H.M.G.
of his jurisdiction over foreigners, though this was
likely to be by no means easy. Mr. Warner said that here,
as in the case of Articles 2 and 7, it was necessary to
bear in mind the possible responsibility with which
we might find ourselves burdened in connection with the
protection of
/ foreign employees etc. In Qatar, and the contingent risk
of foreign interference if we proved unable to safeguard
their position adequately. Mr. Laithwaite expressed
agreement and said that if the concession ?;as developed
it seemed likely that we might have to consider some time
in the future the appointment of a political officer to
Qatar. (Canpare in this connection ccmment (o) on Article 6,
ab ove).
Article 18 . A similar article appears in the A*P.O.C,
Persian concession and it was agreed that while its
meaning was obscure it was unobjectionable.
Article HQ . 'The Political Hesident had expressed the
opinion' tha t a careful Arabic text migh t at a pinch
representatives
suifice. The Foreign Office^intimatad that the point was
probably of less.general importance to them than if we
had been aealing with the question of a treaty, but it
would be well that we shoula not finally commit ourselves
to the Company upon it.
