Purport of Chief Political Officer's remarks when delivering decorations.
I feel greatly favoured by fortune at having the honour on behalf of His
Majesty the King-Emperor and His Excellency the Viceroy, to invest Your
Excellency Shaikh Jabir with the Companionship of the Star of India and
Your Excellency Ibn Saud with that of the Knighthood of the Indian Empire.
I have been commanded when delivering to each of you these decorations
in their behalf to express to you at the same time the appreciation of His
Majesty's Government of the co-operation and accord which we have received
from your Honours since the beginning of the war. It is a great satisfaction
to His Majesty's Government to know from me that you Shaikh Jabir have
the firm intention of following in the wise footsteps of your distinguished
father whose statesmanship and length of view made him famous among the
Chiefs of the Arab States while as regards your Honour, al Amir, it has been
a matter of much gratification to them to know that the relations between
Your Excellency's family have been confirmed and cemented. It is my good
fortune to find our tried friend Shaikh Khazal here at Kuwait, than whom no
one has deserved better of the British Government, and it is a source of great
satisfaction to be able to feel that ac this time we are all bent on one common
purpose, to which we are quite confident of a successful issue.
I beg to offer you my congratulation on your decoration and hope I may
be spared to see you win further distinction.
