From Viceroy, 22nd April 1914.
Foreign Secret. My telegram' of 20th April. Bin Sand. Political
Resident at Bushire telegraphs that reports from Koweit and Bahrein show
that Bin Sand left Katif for Koweit 16th April, presumably by land, and
that Sayyid Taleb is coming to meet him at Koweit with Bin Bashi Omar
Fauzi and chief of staff,' Baghdad. Latter brings with him Turkish
decoration for Sheikh of Koweit. Probable date of meeting 22nd Aprd or
later. These reports are confirmed by Basrah.
With reference to memorandum of 9th March, it is important to the
Government of India to be made aware, if possible, before direct negotiations
commence, whether His Majesty’s Government have received satisfactory
assurances from Porte that our Gulf interests will not be prejudiced by
terms of settlement; and if not, whether any informal action through Sheikh
of Koweit or our local Political Officer is permissible in order to secure our
design. The evident anxiety of Turks to push through direct negotiations
makes us somewhat doubtful of their intentions in above connection.
