Sir,
I have the honour to enclose two letters from
the Shaikh of Qatar in original dated the 11th July 1937
and the 17th July 1937 together with copies of two letters
of similar dates to my adaress.
2. I further enclose a letter wnich I have now addres
sed to the Ruler of Qatar in ansv^er to his letters to me*
3. With regard to his allegation that he has found
among the arras that he has taken from his alleged rebel
subjects a certain number which he states bear the Bahrain
Government mark. I suggest that I address a letter to His
Highness the Shaikh of Bahrain informing him of the alle
gation of the Shaikh of Qatar and asking him if he can
explain how this could have occurred. I feel that the
answer that will be given by the Bahrein Government will
probably be to the effect that the Shaikh of Qatar has
been making var on the tribesmen of His Highness the
Ruler of Bahrain and that the arms that they had in their
stamp as they v/ere given to them as Bahrain subjects well
before tnere were hostilities between the Naim and the
Ruler of Qatar.
