My dear Clauson.
In order to keep you fully posted as to the state of our
negotiations with the Shaikh of Dubai, I will give you the text
of recent telegrams passing between us and Major Holmes, sub
sequent to my letter to you dated August 24th:-
(1) P.C.L. telegram to Major Holmes dated August 24th, 1956 :
M Your telegram of August 23rd Approval of H-3.M.G# without
which Concession cannot be in force must wait for firstly
India Office approval of text secondly Political Agreement
between Company and India Office. Regarding text approval
is being sought urgently and will be probably forthcoming.
Regarding Political Agreement this cannot be concluded with
in the next few days. On the whole I see little objection
to payment of money by you on receiving Shaikh’s signature.
His proviso in separate letter that validity depends upon
consent of H-B.M.C* is necessary and not dangerous. Can his
letter also state that money returnable in the event of
H.B.M.C. consent being withheld? Hope that India Office
will wire Bushire agreement to text with a day or two”.
(2) P«C,I. telegram to Major Holmes dated August 25th, 1936:
"India Office have studied revised text and are likely to
approve it provided Political Resident has no objection to
last paragraph of Article 10. It is however always under
stood that filial approval of K.B.M.G. is conditional on
acceptance by Shaikh and by us of various conditions which
will be embodied in subsequent letters and agreements. To
this extent letter of proviso suggested by Shaikh appears
inevitable and need not delay payment”.
