Dated and received 2nd July 1937,
Your telegram 2nd July 167. Your paragraph 1. I
imagine it is six of one and half a dozen of the other vide
complaint of Naim aggression contained in Shaikh of Qatari
letter of June 22nd enclosure one to your printed letter
C/484 June 26th. /’^
2. Your paragraph 2. It is for Bahrain Government to
decide but presence of large number of out of work and
probably discontented pearlers in Bahrain will doubtless add
to difficulty of Bahrain Government in keeping order should
Qatar boats attack Bahrain boats at sea this would be a
breach of maritime peace of 1853 (Aitcheson page 252)
adhered to by Qatar by Article 1 treaty 1916 (Aitcheson
page 258). For Bahrain see Article II treaty 1861 (
page 234)•
3. Your paragraph No.4. Unless you can give me definite
object for Royal Air Force to carry out, which I can pass on
to Air Officer Commanding, I do not think that there would be
much object on which to ask for them.
