ialestine, x^ui/ait, the to .m of ^rabia, is hindered
from pert'onaing lier humane noble task when she moves to form
oommittees and raise donations as her ^rab sisters have done?
The troubL in Kuwait lies with a batch of false
retinue, and the people of Kuwait are, indeed, afflicted witl.
a company of dispersed fugitives, ^o nation has ever been
overwhelmed by the influence of such a retinue of
irresolute profit-seekers, but had lost her ascendancy
and declined to a state of confusion and embarrassment.
Yesterday arrived in aw a it certain ^ionist agents
showingly to discuss with its O-overniient the export of fish
from Kuwait to Palestine, at a time when this had been
d nied them by other w^rab countries. Having realised that 1
they were in a Muslim country, the spirit of ./hose populaticn
abounded with reli.p.ous zeal and aroused ^r^b sympathies,
these agents preferred to work in darkness in ord3r to
succeed in their suspicious project. They, therefore,
made their relations firm with that youth who has been
casfc out by his own country and liss come to Kuwait in order
to class himself among the retinue of profit-seekers. This
ignorant youth almost drove the Government of Kuwait into an
infamous problem, for absolution from which all Iluslims
had resorted to ^od.
Having taken notice of these evil plots the people
of Kuwait at once realized that there lay hidden behind the
misleading export of fish a terrible scheme of weapon
smuggling by these ^ionist agents to their accomplices at
Palestine . Ths; , thErefore, rose to their Grovemiicnt ,
refusing that latter should spoil the good name of their
town, and decided that the\ should bury the incident In
its craddle at anycost* At this point the Jmir perceived
the serious consequences of such an i-licit ac ion and .»as
taken by the latent Krab magnanimity. He, therefore,
overthrew the project and the a^cvementioned agents
