In this category fell Kuwait’s "Akhwan” claims, which could all
be proved by documentary and other evidence*
Nor was it sense to suppose that, a " flood* camel
claim, however old, if hrou^it forward now, & 01 I& be rejected
by either Bin Saud or himself, merely because it happened prior
to Ramadhan 1931* It would certainly have to be attended to.
7* A "dawa* on the other hand was the opening of a
false H oase" or rather the* preferment of a doubtful charge by one
person against another f in the belief that by clever argument,
false witness, and other shady means, ho mi$it get judgment in
his favour.
8, The Bedouin were adapts at bringing forward such
"bad* cases, for " hope lives eternal" i n the Arabs breast and in
the Bedouins breast in particular.
It was to such cases that Bin Saud clearly referred,
added the Shaikh, and which he also understood were meant when
he agreed to the Remadhan 1951 idea.
9, Personally when the Shaikh told me that he had
agreed to Bin Saud s proposal and without having previously
talked the matter over with me, I must confess I thought nothing
of the mat er, and looked on the proposal in the same light as
the Shaikh did, for I also am painfully familiar with the Bedouin
and his interminable "camel" claims. They make one*giddy* as the
Arab puts it.
10, Bln Saud I do not suppose yet knows anything of the
claims we sent in, to His Majesty’s Government, in respect of the
Akhwan damage, $8 I much doubt if there is anything of a"cunning"
move behind his present proposal, nevertheless it is always as
well to be forwarned, and I think your letter made the Shaikh jtidbsk
think as it did me.
11# In the meantime we have got the Shaikh s ideas on
ft
the subject, and we can always turn these up, should Bin Saud turn
"nasty", I do not think it would be wise to do anything more at
present.
