FOREIGN OFFICK, • .1.
27th April, 1938
My dear Gibson,
With reference to my letter 1*465/468/25 of the 6th
April on the subject of the draft bon volsinasre agreement
between Baud! Arabia end Koweit, I now send you a revised
draft, which we have prepared here, of the proposed
Extradition agreement. We shall be happy at any time if
necessary to discuss with you the texts of both these proposed
agreements.
2. There Is one point which our Treaty Department have
raised in connexion with Article 4 of the Extradition agreement.

suffice for either of the two Governments concerned to send in
an authentic requisition for the surrender of a f i 1 tive
offender without supporting the requisition with any legal
evidence that the crime, for which extradition is oought, lias
in fact been committed. There is so far as we are ©ware, no
objection to this per se since we understand it is r fact that
a number of countries, unhampered by legal requi j emonts such as
Habeas Corous , are prepared to surrender fugitives from justice
on the strength of a mere requisition. nfc may nou be
practicable or desirable from the point of view of local
conditions to tighten up this provision but the omission seems
to invite precisely that kind of spurious requisition which
Fov/le anticipates on page 4 of his note, a copy of which was
attached to your letter to me of 22nd January. If it is
nevertheless t ought desirable to tighten up the article in
this respect we suggest it might be sufficient to add to sub
paragraph (b) the words "together with the original depositions
or affirmations of all witnesses, or authentic co i< s thereof 1
