I appreciated importance of defining view of
His Majesty^ Government though I was doubtful as to best
method and am still dubious as to future course of discussion.
I have now addressed note to Sahdi Government
on the lines prescribed in your telegram 95 but have added
passage in my immediately succeeding telegram. While omitting
reference to Kuwait in deference to your views I have thought
it important to show that His Majesty's Government have not
suggested that analogy but confined their attention to the one
area in which they do not admit cogency of agreement based on
development of Arabia generally.
£ am all for not expediting discussion,
