No. 473-C.
Dated 5th (Reed. 6th) December 1920.
I have received a letter from Ibn 3a*ud, dated 24th November, enelo$-
$ing a letter from 'Abdul 'Aziz at-Turki. The gist of the letter ia
as follows. Begins:-
The Shaikh of Kuwait continues to act aggressively ... bribes,
some having actually gone over to Kuwait. His proposed visit to
Basrah is publicly described in Kuwait as compulsory and insulting
to him. He regrets that the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
, Kuwait, was spreading
adverse reports and also made undesirable remarks in his interview
with Jufran. He believes this on the authority of Ibn Turk! and
Dhaidan's letters. Ibn Sa'ud is determined to punish his disloyal
subjects now in the vicinity of Kuwait, unless they be sent away
from Kuwait, Jahrah and Subaihiyan. He wants above assurance early
failing which he will excuse himself and send a punitive force.
Ends.
In view of the above and your telegram No.14377 I fear that compli
cations will result from the re-occupation of Jahrah. May I com
municate your decision regarding Jahrah to Ibn Sa*ud and explain
to him that its occupation is temporarily allowed, pending a final
settlement.
