i feel pretty certain however that no official action can
be taken against hiui nrid his book and that even if such
action 03 uld be taken it would merely have the result of
giving the book and its contents greater publicity* Possibly
a reply m^ht be given to the sheikh of Uharjah that we
regret that the bo »k has given him offence but that it is
now too into to take any action to stop its elroui&tion in
England and that so f&r as we are aware it has obtained very
little popularity and has not been taken seriously*
