This newspaper was kind en oughto publish my
article under the title: •Ifalse Reports on Arab Rulers Spoil
the Arab Cause^, which I wrote in connection with what had
appeared in a Basra newspaper of the lies forged by a writer The lowest of the four classes into which East India Company civil servants were divided. A Writer’s duties originally consisted mostly of copying documents and book-keeping.
against one of the best, most patriotic, most considerate
to the rights and duties of Pan~Arabism, and most concerned
about the independence of his as well as other Arab
countries, of our present Arab Rulers, namely His Highness tl
the Grand ISmir•Ahmad Jabir al Sabah, the 2mir of Kuwait
and its Sovereign# The writer The lowest of the four classes into which East India Company civil servants were divided. A Writer’s duties originally consisted mostly of copying documents and book-keeping. maintained that His
Highness the Emir intended to agree with a party of
Zionist emissaries on a monopoly of the catch of fish round
the coasts of Kuwait, to be supplied to the Jews of Palestine
and was about to sign a monopoly agreement had the people of
Kuwait not risen in his face and compelled him to give up
the idea.
There is no one more daring in falsification and
lie forging than this writer The lowest of the four classes into which East India Company civil servants were divided. A Writer’s duties originally consisted mostly of copying documents and book-keeping. in what he said against the
Smir of Kuwait, as the fact that a Greek party tried
(without success) to monopolize the fish catch in Kuwait,
indicates the Emir's kind dispositions, excellent
patriotism and far-reaching patronage to what Pan-Arab ism
dictates to its sons in all countries upon Earth, as I
have pointed out in my previous article with decisive proof
and conclusive argument*
His Highness
