Bushiro, 4th July 1923.
In a letter which Colonel Trevor wrote to Govern
ment some time ago about Bin Baud's alleged interference
in the affairjof the Trucial Coast A name used by Britain from the nineteenth century to 1971 to refer to the present-day United Arab Emirates. , he said that so
far there was no mention of Bin saud^ appointing an
"Amir" in Abu Dhabi - meaning by that an official
representative or agent. The use by Colonel Trevor
of this word "Amir" instead of the ordinary one " vakil Elected representative or attorney, acting in legal matters such as contracting marriage, inheritance, or business; a high-ranking legal official; could also refer to a custodian or administrator. n
(which is also the word used in all treaties) was
probably quite innocent. But Government have seized
on it and put us the conyfundrum whether the word "Amir"
means the same as " vakil Elected representative or attorney, acting in legal matters such as contracting marriage, inheritance, or business; a high-ranking legal official; could also refer to a custodian or administrator. "*
Colonel Knox would be glad to have your opinion
on the point. His own view is that "Amir" has a widely
different significs^nce from " vakil Elected representative or attorney, acting in legal matters such as contracting marriage, inheritance, or business; a high-ranking legal official; could also refer to a custodian or administrator. "s the latter connot
ing an agent and the former a person who has actual
executive powers which he has authority to oxeicise*
If this is correct and the word "Amir" is used strictly
in this connection it would imply nothing less than an
Major J. C. More, D.S.O.,
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. ,
