Resident, The majority of the leaders were obviously
gratified and relieved. Shaikh Rashid and his two re
latives were the only persons who questioned the ad
visability of dispersing the force. This was because
they are the only people who have actively opposed the
Shaikh of Qatar. Saleh bin Mana was present the whole
time the conversations took place. I considered it
desirable that he should be present so that there would
be no doubt of what I told the Na'im leaders and no
doubt in their minds that what I was telling them re
garding the Ruler of Qatar was true.
Conclusion .
15. I consider that the possibility of the Oil
Company making a port at the west coast of Qatar caused
certain persons (Saleh bin Mana)? to influence the Shaikh
to proceed to those parts and to institute preventive
measures against alleged smuggling from Bahrain. It
is probable that this tour of the Ruler of Qatar was
simply and solely so that he could show to the world
in general and the Na'im in particular that he was
the ruler of the territory.
16. I think that Ramazan was specially chosen to
be one of the party of tax collectors who were sent
to Faraihah, etcetera, because he was known to be at
enmity with the Na'im who inhabited those villages.
It was probably thought that he was unlikely to enter
into collusion with them to avoid duties.
17. Shaikh Rashid bin Mohammad,who I understand
lives in the area/Obstructed the tax collectors and
as a result received a strong letter from the Shaikh.
He became frightened of the consequences of his action

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence related to tensions between Bahrain (and the Al Naim tribe) and Qatar concerning the ownership of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. on the Qatar peninsula that took place between March and June 1937.
At this time, the Al Naim tribe were allied to the Al Khalifa ruling family of Bahrain who claimed Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as a part of their own territory (the family had been based there before their conquest of Bahrain in 1783). The British authorities did not recognise the Al Khalifa's claim to Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and mediated between the two sides. The file contains extensive details of this mediation process.
