rulers mi^ht find it 'best to agree to recognise the
"boundary of these zones as the boundary of their own
frontier*
To sum up, a olear-cut geographical division 7;ould
be the most desirable solution, but I agree with Hay that
a search for this would involve interminable and probably
abortive negotiations, A working agreement for joint
exploitation would be the solution least disturbing of tho
status quo and general good relations, A half way solution,
by which the two companies operated in distinct nones and
the two rulers qalit both royalties would wprk all right
until the precise line of geographical division became
important to either company's individual revenues.
If tile Iraq Petroleum Company obtain the Sheikh of
Koweit's rights, the fact ^hat Messrs, The Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey or Sooony-Vaouum now hold a large
interest in both the Iraq Petroleum C ompany and Aramoo
may facilitate friendly accommodation between the two
exploiting interests.
Yours sincerely,
