Mr. Calvert to Saudi Minister for Foreign Affairs.
^fter complunents.) 15, 1935,
0Ilr i HAVE The^onour to acknowledge the receipt of 'fgardto
note of the 2nd Jumad -ath-Thani. relative to the prcseiU ^posUwnwithregard to
Koweit, a summary of which was duly communicated hy teleg ip r , k
Majesty's Government. I am now instructed to state m i | Y . Ano-n^
ment have nothing to add to the views expressed m my ^ f
last concerning the incident of the armed party which entei ed Kowe o y,
which question they now regard as closed. TT . ^ r • i. ? o +
2. In regard to the question of the blockade. His Majesty s Government are
surprised to learn of the alleged increase of smuggling from Koweit and of the
intention of the Saudi Arab Government to restrict intercourse with Koweit still
further. As his Excellency Fuad Bey Hamza was informed m London, my
Government consider that the demand of the Saudi Arab Government that a
guarantee be given by Koweit that no smugglers shall cioss the iiontier is
unreasonable, and they regret to observe that no considei ation has apparently
been given to my note of the 12th August. . p i o
3. My Government, therefore, desire to draw the attention oi the baudi
Arab Government once again to the importance they attach to the settlement of
this question and to the proposals contained in my note of the 12th August. If
the Saudi Arab Government insist on impossible conditions they will assume the
sole responsibility for the continuance of the present unsatisfactory situation.
With highest respect,
A. S. CALVERT.
