Shaikh's attitude towards us. This I thought I had already
noticed in a few other cases. In that concerning the proposal
for a Director of Education, the fact that Kuwait does not have

a landing company, Kuwait was quoted: while in one of Ranee's
cases about motor cars Belgrave mentioned the Shaikh's belief
