Please refer to your telegram Ho.497, dated 24th
April and previous telegrams. The Porte having informed
His Majesty*s Ambassador that they had great hopes of
arriving at a satisfactory settlement with Bin Baud them
selves it was decided by His Majesty^ Government for
reasons of general policy not to press mediation. This
decision was influenced by the belief that the negotiations
were to be conducted through Shaikhs of Moharamerah and
Koweit in whom His Majesty’s Government have such great
confidence.
We now authorise you to acquaint Bin Gaud through

been informed by His Majesty’s Government of their views.
Sheikh of Koweit should be informed at same time
that there is no objection to his affording his good
offices to assist progress of negotiations. Sheikh should
also be made acquainted with the four British desiderata
detailed in memorandum of March 9th to Hakhi pashi viz.
(a) Non-interference by Bin Baud in politics and
territory of Arab rulers on Gulf including
Katar.
(b) That Bin Saud should cooperate as the Arab
rulers do in putting down piracy and in the
maintenance of maritime truce generally.
(c) Similar action in regard to suppression of Arms
Traffic.
(d) That British traders should be allowed to go to
Katif and should receive proper treatment there.
In this connection we do not consider it advisable
for you yourself to proceed to Koweit.
