March, 1939) that they must conform to a regulation, whatever
the Shaikh’s motives may he, and I daresay he does not think
that the value of trade to he brought hy the merchants will
compensate for the loss of Bedouin traffic brought about by
restricting their movements, to impose restrictions on the
Bedouin would be most difficult in practice. Bin Saud himself
has had to lift the blockade unofficially, and for these reasons
alone the Shaikh s insistence on the free movement of the
Bedouin is, I think, sound.

Shaikh’s paragraph 6 (i). This is a reversion to the
original wording.
Shaikh’s paragraph 6 (iii). I have attempted to get chap
ter ana verse for the Shaikh’s statement, but can get nothing
comprehensive and conclusive. What does emerge is (a) that the
Bashiyada are still "servants* of the Shaikh and (b) the Awazim

Bin Saud during the Akhwan movement. The remaining third are
the fishermen of Kuwait and inhabitants of the islands, (c)
The Ajman and Mutair have likewise mostly gone over to Bin Saul.
Shaikh*s paragraph 7 (i) last sentence. The Shaikh’s sti
pulation to consult His Majesty’s Government is new. I think
we need not take up this point now as it is proposed by the
Foreign Office (vide paragraph 3 (i) of Foreign Office letter
No. IT.^671/34/25 of the 4th May, 1939) to omit or correct the
article. IrThen this has been done the matter can be explained
to the Shaikh.
