Kuwait telegram No. 285 mary to me which
may please be repeated to Jedda.
I have nothing to add at present to Ja<ins
comments on Ibn Saud f s letter vide his letter except that
I do not thin* that arrangement for ? joint representative
administration of the Neutral Zone can be satisfactorily
made by correspondence. I consider represantatives of
His Majesty’s Government and the Saudi Government should
meet to discuss question in detail since Sheitch of Kuwait
should be permitted to depute one of his subjects to
assist H.M’s representative during such discussions if he
so wishes.
2 * I see no verjr strong objection to Sheikh of
Kuwait’s suggestion that consideration of the future
administration of the territory should be postponed until
results of the preliminary tests are .cnown provided the
Saudi Government are willing that the American Independent
Oil Company employees in area should be subject to Kuwait
jurisdiction in the meantime which is perhaps unlircely.
HAY.
