X h: v e the honour to reply to your letter ho,G-886
dated the 17th Ha jab lob 5 (3*lQ*-36), 0 ; a body ing contents of tht
oommunication received from Ilia Majesty iCing Abdul Aziz as-
i,
Saud through His Majesty’s Government, in connection with
the Regulations for the Opening of Trade between Oaudi
Arabia and Kuwait, which I have wall understood*
2. I would like to inform you that I appreciate the
spirit of sympathy and amity shown during the discussions.
At the same time I highly appreciate the great efforts that
are being made by His Maj esty’a Government to get 4he to
success the question of ’’Muaabala* between Saudi Arabia
and Kuwait.
5* I assure to your Excellency that the proposals
contained in the regulations forwarded under cover of my
letter Iio.K-5/67, dated the 23rd Safer 1355 (14.5.36), will
suffice to meet the case for safeguarding the interests of
both sides. X again assure to your Excellency that I shall
not fail to do the best in my power to protect the rights
of all by all possible and effective means.
4. as for the supposition that there might be some
people who would export goods in the name of ’Iraq, but who
would smuggle them into Gaudi Arabia or elsewhere, this very
unlikely. Moreover, both ours as well as Saudi Arab
officials will be ^e to keep strict observation over such
attempts. Nevertheless, I consider that it is ver^ unlikely
that such a matter will arise, because it would be
impracticable•
