Reference corre3pondenoe rooting with my Express letter
No. T/3-l.a/29 datod tho 3rd June 1938 regarding the claim raised
by the Shaikh of Qatar to the Hawar Group of Islands.
2. I enaloae herewith on extract from a letter datod the 16th
Rabi al Thani 1367 which I have Just received from the Shaikh of

Qatar. (The remainder of the lottor deals with other complaints
A .
against tho Bahrain Government and no reference to Hawar;.
The Shaikh' a statement that he informed me that' "what he had written
was limited to the present situation" and that he might have further
evidence to produce is a complete contradiction of his previous very

clear statement to me personally, in rooponso to repeated questions,
that he had produced all the evidence on which ho relied, I do not
consider that any notioe need be taken of the new suggestion that
farther evidenae might be available oinco he was very clearly ins­
tructed in my letter No. C/324-l.n/29 dated the 20th May 1938 to
produce at once all tho evidence v/hloh he has.
