Reference correspondence ending with your telegram No*
193 dated the 20th May 1938, regarding the draft Qatar Order
in Council*
2* I enclose herewith a copy of the English portion of my
letter No* C/333 dated the 21st May 1938 addressed to the Shaikh
of Qatar on this subject, and also a translation of the reply which
I have now received from him*
3* The Shaikh's letter is very badly worded but it is suffi
cient to detennlne his acceptance of the points set out in my letter
to him, provided he receives some guarantee that Governments of
foreign countries over whose Moslem subjects the Shaikh will exer
cise jurisdiction will raise no objection against him and so on*
The Shaikh is in fact terrified of Ibn Baud as I have pointed out
in paragraph 3 of my Express letter No* C/112 dated the 8th February
1938 and in my Note of the 30th May 1938 on my visit to Dohah, a
copy of which has been sent to you under cover of my memorandum
No. C/376 dated the 11th JUne 1938*
