Telegraa (P)
From Political, Kuwait*
t
To Wilson O/o R.I.M.S* Lawrence, Bombay*
No. 175-0.
Dated 4th November 1920.
High Commissioner*s telegram No. 12979 of 26th October, which I re
peated to you by wireless but you apparently did not receive, begins
Your No. 65* I agree that if Ibn Sa’ud authorised the attack on Jahrah
it was contrary to the spirit of his assurances, but no doubj he will
try to Justify it by repeating his previous allegation that Salim
was actively engaged in trying to organise a combination against him
including Shammar elements hostile to him, and that the attack on
Jahrah was directed against the Shammar and not against Salim.
I myself warned Salim that his bairaq and forces at Jahrah were
merely an incitement to the Ikhwan and that he had far better de
mobilize and trust to our peaceful intervention, but he did not sms
things in the same light,
I am not prepared to encourage fresh hostilities by advising
Salim to reocoupy Jahrah with a force. If he does so it must be at
his own risk ag before*
Letter of remonstrance to Ibn Sa f ud should by this time have
resulted in restraining order to the Ikhwan, and, after our announce
ment to them, I do not fancy they will attack Kuwait,, especially
as they say they are acting under Ibn Sa'ud^ orders.
Will
