translation of an article which appeared in "A1 Nas
dated the 19th January 1937,
B oundar ies ^etween__Iraq_and Kuw ait.
A pro"blem has appeared as to the boundary line "between
Iraq, and Kuwait due to the pressure "brought "by Customs Police
^he smugglers ^i^om Kuwait, T tj is evident that this pressure
has resulted in putting (nearly) a stop to smuggling, which
(naturally) does not harm the Kuwait Government, Complaints
n ^e, wherefore, made that the Customs Police are encroaching
upon Kuwait "boundaries. The Pritish representative is taking
Kuwait side and is sending protest after protest. Kuwait which
was a part and parcel of this country, and which until the
last day of the Othoman reign in Iran was considered a Qadha
(district) attached to the Basra Yilayat, is today "putting
it across us" and demanding that we fix a boundary line between
us. Our friends the English (i.e.British) are helping in the
fulfilment of this demand, ""he news which we have written so
hurriedly has something "behind it. The Kuwait affair which
concerns us a great deal cannot "be described in a small space,
and, therefore, details will appear under a special column in
our further issues.
Yesterday morning the Commandant of Police of the Liwa,
\1 3ayid Tawad Ali went to the Iraq and Kuwait boundaries at
Safwan to meet the British -Representative at Kuwait to discuss
the boundary question, txhe base of smuggling.
