2 ^rd March, 1935 *
Sir,
/
Jh reply to your letter of the 6th March,
33, I am directed by the Secretary of State for
India to say that he appr ecfates the reasons for the
reluctance of the Sheihh of Kowext definitely to commit
himself on the subject of his correspondence of February
1932 with Ibn Saud. As Sir Philip Cunliffe-lister is
aware, he feels much sympathy with the Sheihh of Koweit
and attaches importance to doing anything possible to meet
his legitimate case in regard to the Saudi blockade on
his land frontier. But he feels strongly at the same
time that if the Sheikh wishes His Majesty’s Government
to fight the case for him His Excellency must be prepared
to come into the open, and either face the risk of
causing offence to Ibn Saud (who has not shown himself
unduly tender of Koweiti susceptibilities or interests in
recent years) or preferably cease to pursue the point
regarding the #aid claims now in issue. He is not disposed
to regard the establishment of a committee to give a
ruling on the meaning of the correspondence now in question
as a satisfactory solution of the difficulty which has
arisen.
Departments Sir S. Hoare is inclined in these circumstances
to think that the Sheikh should be informed that His
Majesty’s Government cannot regard the suggestion of a
