Sir,
v
I have the honour to refer to your telegram ^o: 775
dated the 7th September 1934 and to say that Salih al Mani 1
came here to sell pearls and as far as I can gather for
nothing else. He came back here two days ago, 5 th September
1934, for the same purpose.
2. In all cases where Qataris have passes these come
to the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. but in the pearling season traders come over
in small boats without passes to Bahrain. It might be
advisable to draw the addention of the Shaikh of Qatar to
this, though it is unlikely that he will be able to enforce
all Qataris to take out passes. It would obviously be
impossible for us to check entries at the Customs .jetty.
Information is generally received of any arrivals of known
people and their movements can be checked when necessary.
3. In view of the state of the negotiations between the
Anglo-Persian Gxi Company Limited and the Shaikh of Qatar a
policy of not exerting too much pressure on the Snaikh at
present might be worth consideration.
I have the honour to be
Sir,
iour most obedient servant.
