Memorandum
2 .
Reference your memorandum No.C/600 dated the 14th June 194]
The policy of the present Shaiidi of Eujairah
differs great deal from that of his predecessor. He considers him
self to be the lord of his own land and that he is strong enough
to protect his interests and maintain his independence without the
help of others. He does not acknowledge Shaikh Khalid as his over-
lord but deals with him as his friend and ally. During uhe recent
conflict between the Shahuh and the Q&wasim, the shaikh of Fujairah
had been one of the peace-makers but Shaikh Khalid, although; out
wardly, shows himself as very friendly and y unlike his nephew Shaikh
Humaid, follows a policy of appeasement, does not trust Fujairah
and thinks that his policy was one of " divide and rule **•
3. According to my enquiries, the Shaikh of Fujairah*s main
object^is to put himself on the same status as other Trucial Shaikhs :
and have the freedom to deal with the British Government as free
Sheikh. I have been informed that Wien he visited Dubai he called
on Mr.Lermitte of the P.C.L. but in my opinion his object was more
to entice him for oil and indirectly induce the British Government
to recognize his independence.
4. The Shaikh of Sharjah claims from Kht-tam Mala hah (Kalba)
to Dairah(Dubai) and would undoubtedly raise objections about
Fujairah if such objections can be accepted. The Shaikh of Sharjah’s \
sphere of influence does not extend to Fujaix'ah nor his will or
authority are enforced there. Therefore, a Shaikh whose commands
receive no obedience, and who cannot, when necessary, execute those
commands by means of force, has, in my opinion, no right to make
such objections.
