understood what you have written about our verbal discussion
and our corresponhence in writing with regard to Nasir bin

propaganda of others. I discussed the matter with you vei^bally
and confirmed it in writir^ stating that a propaganaa is being
organised in Bahrain for influencing the simple persons who snow
slackness in their patriotism. As a result of such a propaganda
Nasir bin Khalid and Saif bin Ahmad went(to Bahrain)and as you
are aware, they went (to Bahrain) through the propaganaa which
I have pointed out above and therefore this behaviour on their
part indicates their disloyalty, ill intentions and breach oi
the duties of their holy country. These individuals did not
disclose such inclinations during all these years when they

others to their side with an evil intention to use tnem as an
instrument in harming me, but the matter is not oi any important
as they will not be successful m their imagination.. When I
discussed the matter with you my object was to acquaint you with
the real reasons on account of which these people w^ere mane to
go to Bahrain. When I ashed you that some arrangements should
be made so that such persons should not enter Bahrain, I based
my request on the present circumstances and the prohibition
.mposed by the Bahrain Government through the

against the entry of Qatar subjects into Bahrain. Therefore,
the duty calls that the prohibition shoulu be enlorcea against
all the subjects of Qatar, and the Bahrain Government have no
right to interfere with people who are not their subjects as
