decision having been given nor is any decision given in
that letter regarding the ownership of

2. From re-reading the letters it appears to me that
the Government of India were at that time anxious to avoid
complications on the mainlandsand at the same time they
were not disposed to give a definite decision regarding
the ownership of
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
