Dear Colonel Loch
of
I regret that I have not had the pleasure
meeting you and therefore appreciate all the more
the letter which you were good enough to send me by
the hand of Had i Yusif bin Kanoo; No .C/595 - 10/3‘
dated 14th instant.
The position with regard to Qatar is that
the General Manager sent Kanoo there ostensibly to
make a payment of Rs.5,000/- due to the Sheikh under
the existing arrangement and also to ascertain unoffi
cially the Sheikh’s attitude towards an extension of
the period. ± believe you are aware of this as Mr.
Hikington explained the matter to you during his
recent visit.
Haji Yusif bin Kanoo duly carried out
these instructions and reported the result by a letter
written in English. Kanoo 1 s letter was not entirely
clear to me, particularly his veiled reference to
Ibn 3aud. As I wished to understand the matter, and
particularly to ensure that no confusion arose through
language difficulties I asked Haji Yusif to come to
t- as rah to discuss the position. Having done so, it
was my intention to consult you, as I know London
would wish to have your advice before giving me their
instructions.
As a result of discussions with Haji Yusif
I now understand the position to be as follows
(a)
'he Sheikh o
a tar
is offended that nee:©'
tiations have not been resumed before now; the
existing arrangement expires on the 6th August
and it probably offends his conceit that we have
waited until this late date before approaching him
+ h regard to an extension or alternatively making
