Z. His Majesty's Government farther directed the
Hon'ble the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
to inform Your Sxcellency that
these proposals seemed to them to afford a prospect of a
satisfactory settlement to both parties.
Your views on the above proposals were as follows:-
(1) Your Excellency agreed to the issue of manifests as
already proposed, also Your Excellency agreed to
extend such xoanifest system to goods carried by dhows.
(2) Your Excellency agreed to the establishment of
customs posts, as proposed, also that fixed routes
should be specified on the manifests.
(3) Your Excellency agreed to give the pledge referred to.
(4) Your Excellency stated that while the Saudi Government
were entirely at liberty to issue any special permits
which they chose to caravan leaders, such as issuing
of certificates of Identity, authorizing them to
proceed to Kuwait and purchase supplies up to certain
limits, or pass through certain customs posts on the
inward journey to Kuwait, you yourself must definitely
decline to issue any fom of Certificates of
Identity, or other control documents at the Kuwait
end for outgoing caravans or individuals, as there
would neither be need for such action nor would it be
practicable seeing that caravans exporting goods
would come in from Nejd and go out again, and no
Kuwaiti caravans would be engaged in such trade.
Your Excellency further stated that all you couM
agree to was to issue inaniies^s to caravan leaders
giving particulars of goods carried, as well as
ordering them (the leaders) to proceed to such
and such customs posts. That one copy of the mani
fest would be given to the caravan leader, a second
to the Saudi trade Agent here, and a third kept by
the Kuwait Government - Lastly that the Saudi
Grovernment must trust to /our iiixcellency s word
