a disingenuous evasion of the issue to send it. Besides,
it would do absolutely no good. I am inclined to think
that having asked the Ruler of Qatar to remove the Ar
Rumaih we should take action against him for refusing to
do so.
2. In his monologue, lasting an hour and a half, of
yesterday and on several similar occasions, the Shaikh of
Bahrain no longer spent so much time in arguing that the
Shaikh of Qatar has failed to observe the agreement concluded
through the mediation of Hickinbotham. His main attack is
now directed at claiming (a) his privileges; (b) his properties
in Zubara. As regards (a) he relies on a letter which he
received from Galloway from which J enclose the relevant
extract. His claim to "his properties'* is also, he says,
supported by a letter from Galloway though I have been unable
to find any such letter. With regard to the Shaikh's claim
to "his privileges" I should be glad if I could be told what
I should reply to him.
