My dear Clauson, • “
With reference to your letter P.Z. 7265/36 dated
October 23rd, we have no objection to the addition of
the words which you propose to the amended Article
9(c).
As regards Article 25 (now to be added). Holmes
feels that the Shaikh may find difficulty in accepting
this Article, owing to unwillingness to let the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
make decisions regarding the boundaries
of his territory. In fact, of course, the Political
Resident would, in case of a frontier dispute between
tw T o of the Shaikhs, be the umpire and have the last word,
but Holmes feels that to say so quite so definitely as
is done in Article 25 may cause the Shaikh of Dubai to
hesitate. Although, therefore, we will now include
this Article in the Draft Concession, we cannot ignore the
possibility that Holmes may have to omit it if its
presence is a stumbling-block to signature. As the
Article is not one for which you have ever pressed,
(though you have accepted it), I imagine that its omission
would not worry you.
We appreciate that all the Drafts which you mention
in your letter under reply must be finally approved by
the Secrfit qT> y °f £tate. , It peems that all is now ready
