provision about that company*s flying the Kuv.’eiti flag I fear
that there may be some acrimonious argument about flags: and if
there is no such article in the Kuweit concession I fear the
argument may be even more acrimonious. I understand that
Article 37 was put in by the Egyptian lawyer employed by the
Saudi Arabian Government, AhmedTaufiq.
5. It may perhaps be of interest if I draw attention in this
despatch to a philological point: the word ’’quraih" seems to me
to be the diminutive of the word ,, qarn ,, one of the meanings of
which is "a horn n : can it therefore be possible that the mountain
alluded to by one of the surveyors bears at its top a protuberance
which resembles a little horn? It seems at any rate more likely
that the word would apply to a mountain than to a well.
6. In conclusion I would mention that this post does not
appear to possess a copy of the map annexed to article 5 of the
1913 agreement. Nor have we a copy of the 1936 War Office map,
though we possess a War Office map (1/1,000,000) M.D.R. 1/388
P 104) dated at the War Office 1938, revised 1941, (Basfca sheet
(North H 38) which I presume will do equally well. I shoulc be
grateful if I might be supplied with a copy of the 1913 map if
Ig, possible: and as I have not yet received the text of the Aminco
agreement signed on the 28th June, 1948, about the Kuweit oil interest
in the Neutral Zone, I should be grateful to be supplied with
a copy of that also.
7. I am sending copies of this despatch to the British Middle
East Office and to Sir Rupert Hay.
I have the honour to be,
with the highest respect,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble, servant,
SGD. A.C. TR0TT.
