Sir,
I have the honour to refer to your letter i^o.C-195
of the 2nd October 1936 and to say that I have ascertained
His -hccellency the Shaiich*s reactions to the first four
paragraphs of the Saudi Sot© and that he has in this connecticc
written to me a letter a copy of which is attached,
2. On handing His liixoellenoy the copy of the first
four paragraphs of the Saudi Rote I pointed to what I said
was an obvious slip in drafting in the penultimate sentence
of para 2 of the note, f *1^
The sentence beginning bedouin” as it stood
would mean if accepted, that no Bedouin even a Kuwaiti camped
within two miles of the walls, could leave Kuwait without
a pass from a Saudi Arab official. His Axcellenoy on reading
it said immediately T, Not a slip but intent!onal^ ,
His j&acoellency in conversation later informed me
that he feared that Ibn Baud instead of being content with
the quite adequate regulations devised was, by an amendment,
trying to achieve not simply the end of the blockade but
increased influence and control over Kuwait.
3 . His demand for an official to accompany the
caravans was he thought dictated by this reason. Host
caravans would start from Wejd, and Saudi Arab caravan
