2. Shaikh is extremely worried about the Zubara position
owing to his desire to send his followers and flocks to graze in
Qatar. It is very probable that a considerable portion of the
area for the new landing ground will be found to be His Highness*s
personal property as opposed to Bahrain Government property.
Therefore I think it desirable to bring about the withdrawal of
the guards from Zubara as soon as possible.
3. I suggest you instruct me to visit Doha to inspect
personally rationing arrangements which the Shaikh states he has
introduced and report whether the organisation is satisfactory
and our and his peoples* interests can be safeguarded without
insisting on blockading or rationing. Provided I was satisfied
with food position the immediate withdrawal of the guards from
Zubara could be an unofficial condition of my reporting favourably.
