2. On my return to Kuwait, Shaikh Mubarak referred to the firm’s letter
to him (copy of which was forwarded with the letter above quoted) and said
that he had made no reply to this communication, which apparently reached
Kuwait during the Shaikh’s absence. He added that while he was at Eailiyah
he was visited by one of the European staff of the firm, presumably by
Mr. Brown, who endeavoured to obtain permission to open a branch in Kuwait
under the charge of a European, and to purchase or lease permanent premises
The Shaikh said that he refused to entertain the idea and finally when
Mr. Brown pressed him for his reasons in discriminating between British and
other merchants the Shaikh said that the cases were not analogous, his rela
tions with Indian merchants were of long standing and that he did not wish
himself saddled with the difficulties which were certain to arise if any of the
German firm s creditors defaulted. He added that eventually he told
Mr. Brown that if the German firm desired they could address the Political
Agent in Kuwait and if that officer recommended their application he himself
might possibly consider it.
