^ith reference to your jjcpress Letter Ko.Ql-B,
of 3rd February 1936, I have the honour to say that
His Excellency the shaikh feels confident that in so far
as the deserte of Lorth ^.ast of ^audi -irabia is concerned
the provisions of the Baudi ^ab ^rms Regulations will not
and cannot be strictly enforced. His excellency read the
/ Regulations when they appeared in Unsm ul ^ura in October
i and although they are announced as coming into force from
the date of publication no change in practice has taken
place.
2 # In the case of the towns it has long been customary
to leave arms at their gates, which is often also
convenient to the carriers of the arms themselves as well
as reassuring to the authorities. It is the existing rule
in Kuwait to do so.
assuming that the shaikh is correct in thinking
that the Regulations are not enforceable in this area, then

has no comment.
If alternatively security in the desert were to
change so much for the better, implying a closer mesh to
Baudi *orab authority which hardly seems practicable in the
open deserts of Lorth Last ^rabia there could also be no
objection to the enforcement of the i>audi ^rab Regulations
from Kuwait.
