Re. Qatar . 1. the rifles and ammunition must have arrived
■ in Qatar; they had reached Bombay sometime in October 1935
: (PI. see pp. 86 and s' 7 of file l-a/5-(ii)). Perhaps Mr. Packer
i might be abli to give no definite information.
2. From the files it does not appear that
any order was placed for the cars mounted with guns (Please see
; corr. ending with the ^haikh's letter at P. 103 of File'l0/5^ii).
i^ven the "Defence plan of Qatar" pa^ced
; below does not help us much. The ^.L.O. and Mr. Packer might
perhaps be able to give us the information we require.
