Memorandum
Reference your letter No. C/323 dated the 10th April
1941 in which you forwarded a letter from Shaikh Muhammad
bin Hamad of Fujairah asking for Treaty relations with His
Majesty r s Government.
2. Fujairah is one of the Shamailiyah villages of which
there appear to be 24. Fujairah has 150 houses and appears
to be about the same size as Kalba. Many of the other villages
however are nearly as big. The whole area is, nominally,
under the influence of the Shaikh of Sharjah although he
appears to have little or no influence there now. Kalba
was acknowledged to be independent in 1936 by the British
Government but that was, as you know, in connection with
the grant of landing ground facilities there. There is no
such question in regard to Fujairah and I see no benefit
to obtained by entering into relations with him and recog
nising his independence.
3. Could you please make further enquiries and let me
know the reason why the present Shaikh is making this request
when his predecessor had sworn allegiance to the Regent of
Kalba. Possibly it has something to do with prospects of
oil development. It is also to be considered whether the
Shaikh of Sharjah would not make objection^.
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
