this to you and sent a copy of the meditflcation thereof.
I have also informed Your Honour that that was the extreme
limit possible for agreement,afterwards I learnt that the
claimants are still sticking to their own views and that
they want to encroach upon my rights t and try to cut a
port from my land and a coast from my coasts*
Honourable the Political Resident I I am
certain that my proof is clear and known even to the High
British Government from the time they entered into Treaties
with Bahrain and granted them protection in connection with
their boundary* They undoubtedly knew that Zubarah had
nothing to do with that. The High British Government also
granted to us protection of land and by sea to all Qatar
without exception and recognized the independence of all
Qatar state under my ruling flag* Is it possible that when
the High British Government granted that to us they had
any doubt about Zubarah and did not make it clear to us
or draw our attention to it* Lately a negotiation took
place between me and the Anglo Iranian Oil Company Limited
for the survey in all ^tar territory and excavation in
its land, boundary and Coasts* Their agreement concluded
by the permission of the High British Government and
survey carried out in all Qatar lands, Zubarah etc* A
was drawn
map consisting of all Qatar State including ZubaraJ^. T^is
negotiation was going on with the said Company about
lands
oil develop tent in whole Qatar bede or places as shown in
the map. This negotiation was concluded aiid when I ea^
upon and approved by British Government I agreed
saw that it was agreed^ith the said Company and signed the
concession for the Company as laid down in the agreement
which is concluded between me and them* All this
was done under the supervision and consideration of your
Honour. This took effect by your confirming the agreement
which was concluded in connection with all Qatar Territory*
