her for herself,
5 # As these and the previous articles which I sent you,
have had the worst possible effect in Kuwait, I would, with
deep respect, suggest, and provided you see no objection to
such course, that the articles now sent you together ?/ith
those enclosed in my despatch No•0-269 be forwarded on to
His Majesty's Government, even though His Ilajesty's
Charge* d*Affaires in Baghdad appears to have already taken
some action with H.iil.Yasin
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
, and with satisfactory
results, vide paras 3 and 4 of British jJmbassy's despatch
No.451, dated the 20th iOigust 19 35, to the Right Hon'ble
Sir Samuel Hoare,Bt., G.G.S.I., Gr.B.E*, etc. etc. (copy
of which was sent to me under your Printed Letter No.694-S
of 6 th September). V ^ M' ^ Lf 1+ ^ Un ^ plfi*
g # The reason why I venture to make the above sug
gestion is that H.iii. the Shaikh Oo. i^uwait * s recen^ /isit
to England may be said to be bound up with and to have been
undertaken largely as a result of this pernicious propaganda,
which has been going against his State in Iraq for a very
considerable time now.
7 # There seems little doubt in my mind that both
the ohaikh and his people believed in July last that His
Majesty's Government were weakening, as a result of the
Iraq Government's calculated and persistent attacks in the
matter of "smuggling", and that Kuwait was in eminent danger
of being surrendered to Iraq, or of being brought under
His Majesty's Government's direct control, which the iraq
Government's proposal to appoint a British director of
Customs, restrict her imports etc. etc. was understood to
mean.
To the Shaikh and his people the very life and existence of
Kuwait as an independent -ti.rab State was in danger and he
decided to act and act quickly. (His original intention //as
I believe to have petitioned H.L .the King jImpe-C- > in person).
