To -ie £u\.f.;it brethren who possessed this hi£:h
spirit of -*rab mgnanimity, I said: "w Q s it not right
that you should have brought to the notice of the
authorities among you the plots of tkose who attached
themselves to them and adhered to them for nothing but the
achievement of their own desires and illicit material gain,
seeking it wherever and however it is to be found, and then
they care for nothing but to despise you and those presiding
over you . *lou are right', they replied, "But nothing
could avail in the case of these strangers. If we had any
say in our country's affairs, none of these cast out
s ^angers cculd ha'"e passed to the rank of retinue a:id
xavourites to observe and design. But we leave our word to

by uhe way of advice and kinc exhortation".
^ruly, it is a venerable service which it is our
duty, we Arab writers and journalists, to take u>. If the
j - o er'nment of Kuwait is so liberal and generous as to allow
a sxranger, whose real object is unknown to thetn to creep
into their retinue, and in the shortest time achieve the
position of the loyal adviser, then this is an affliction
which is the worst Ifet has ever befallen Kuwait.
If the doubts and conjectures reported to us about
the man's relations with foreigners in ICuvrait turn to be
true, do rulers "eel acsurad about the r-dsultu of thes
relations, against which we pray to God to protect them.
