, Kuwait*
Dated the 7tii KarcK 1932*
V/ill you please refer to your D#0*No*X49*3* dated the
14th March* I discussed tlie interesting point you raised with the
Shaikh, as soon as he returned from Riath*
2 * very definite.\y and indignantly rejected Ihe idea,
that Bin Baud’s proposal and his acceptance of same, meant that
Kuwait’s money claims against llejd in respect of Akhvmn raids
could be^washed out”*
he said, Bin Gaud was obviously thinking about,
and what he himself certainly understood by the proposal, was that
the number of n bad" Hejd Bedouin camel claims against ^uwnitis and
vice versa had become so nvamroae of late that it was time sane
steps were taken to stop them*
Most of such claims came from Hejdis, and were not
only unending but were for tlie most part of an extremely vague
type and could not be proved*
5 « "Good” claims were for ever being settled by ”Arafa”
methods* Nevertheless the Bedouin, whenever Bin Gaud came to Riath
swooped down on him and mad© life intolerable by the prefering of
a vast number of ”bad” claims, hoping that the King who could do
most things would be able to ”raise the dead” so to speak for them*
There were two types of claims among Arabs said the
Shaikh, the ”talab” and the "daws”* x hese must not be mixed up*
A ”talab” was the claim which could be proved and
about which there was no doubt at all, for example a man claiming
a sum of money from another for which he had a ”senad”. ^uch a
claim could never under any circumstances be ” washed out ' T , and to
the end would have to be attended to by both Bin Gaud and himself.
