We have seen the newspaper articles inspired by the
neighbouring Governments: the Iraq,the Uijaz, and the
Transjordanla, with intent to make out fame ugly through
out Arabian and Islamic countries and accusing us of the
ugliest crimes t«R such as a love for bloodshed and a
desire to cause disturbances in the Arabian peninsula^
Not content with this they have gone to more dangerous
ler^hs: they have attributed most of the responsibility for
the present state of affairs to our friend Great Britain.
And since we know perfectly well that H.B.M* s Government
used every effort to settle the dispute between us and our
neighbours and their most earnest desire is the effusion
of peace throughout the ehopoonaoo we deemed it necessary
to publish the discussions which too^ place at the
Kuwait conference, and also some of thostcommunications
received from H.B^M's Government which concern the matters
under dispute in order to dispel any impression on public
opinion caused by the publication of idle rumours in the
newspapers. we thought it right that H.B.M's
Government should know of this fact^

About this item
- Content
The volume contains letters, telegrams, and memoranda relating to affairs between the British Mandate of Iraq and The Kingdom of Najd and the Hejaz, ruled by Ibn Sa'ud. Most of the correspondence is between the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in Bushire, the Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, the High Commissioner in Baghdad, the Colonial Office in London, the Government of India, Ibn Sa'ud himself and his delegates.
The majority of the volume is concerned with cross-border raids and counter raids between Iraq and Najd and efforts to put a stop to them. With the British attempting to mediate, the raids were carried out by the Ikhwan and tribal groups in Iraqi and Kuwaiti territory, including sections of the 'Ajman, Mutayr, Shammar, Awazim, 'Utaibah, Harb, and Dahamshah tribes. The documents reflect the divergent opinions among British officials on what British policy should be in the region as well as the inadequacies of the borders as they were defined. The volume ends with efforts to set up a tribunal to settle claims of compensation between the two governments as stipulated in the Bahra Agreement.
