the proposed 3audi-Kmv;ait A- reement enter into force as
soon as possible.
2* The Kin-: raised the subject himself, and this
added to the interest of the fr-ct that I rind never "before
found the Saudi authorities anxious that the agreement shonld
be concluded soon. The King said that is .•■?ish to conclude
the Agreement was due partly to a recent increase in the
amount of smuggling on the Saudi -Kuv *ait border, but mainly
to the fact that he wanted to make customs and preventive
arrangements for the port of Has "Tar ura, and that the
arrangements adopted there would depend to some extent
upon whether the proposed Agreement with Kuwait was
concluded or not. This second of the two reasons may have
some weight in the King's mind, but since we reason to
expect that the establishment of a Saudi port at Has Tanura
would make him even more indifferent to Kuwait as a port of
entry for his territory, it seems probable that other causes
too are at work, and it seems to me that among them are the
three set forth below.
