With reference to your telegram Ho.1337, dated 30th

"With reference to your telegram dated 6th of August.
Some difficulty is experienced by us in expressing our
opinion on the telegram from Cox, dated July 30th in con
sideration of the policy which has been explicitly laid
down by His Majesty's Government regarding Bin Saud. We
consider, however, that it is our duty to lay before His
Majesty's Government the very strong objections to which,
in the changed state of affairs, a rigid adherence to that
policy is, in our pa opinion, open. From the relations
which exist between Bin Saud and the Shaikh of Ai Qatar
and the recent reports regarding the apprehensions of
the Chiefs of the
Trucial Coast
A name used by Britain from the nineteenth century to 1971 to refer to the present-day United Arab Emirates.
, it is clear that he is
assuming as ever increasing prominence in the politics of
the Coast of the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, and has thus brought him
self within the sphere in which lie our interests and in
fluence. ^in Saud could be ignored with impunity as long
as his operations were confined to Ai 11asa. We do not,
however, think that it is safe to pursue such a policy
now that there is a possibility that he will interfere in
Qatar, with the chiefs of the
Trucial Coast

, and even, it
may be, in Oman where an opportunity of encroaching on the
territories of the Sultan may be afforded to him by the
rebellion. It appears to us, therefore, that his conci
liation or estrangement must now be decided upon. The
latter effect cannot but be produced if Bin Saud is
threatened
