(a) His Highness Shaikh Sir Salman bin Hamad bin f Isa
Al Khallfah, K.C.I. %, interested himself closely in the
government of his country generally, and particularly in the
maintenance of adequate food supplies for his people. During
the period under review a rapproachment was effected between
His Highness and shaikh Abdullah bin i^asim Al Than!, C.I.S.*
the Ruler of the neighbouring territory of Qatar. Difficulties
had arisen as far back as 1936 with regard to the ruined
settlement of Zubarah on the west coast of the Qatar peninsula
which resulted in en^ry into Bahrain being denied to all
subjects of the shaikh of Qatar except for those who were in
urgent need of medical attendance. On the 17th of June 1944
an agreement was signed by the two shaikhs to the effect that
formal relations would be resumed on the same lines as they
had been in the past. The immediate result of the signature
of this agreement was the lifting of the ban against the
subjects of the Shaikh of Qatar by His Highness and the arrival
in Bahrain for medical treatment of Shaikh Hamad bin Abctullah
/Ai Than!
