December and Nos.874 and 877 of the 20th December
regarding the settlement of the Iraq-Nejd.Iraq-Koweit
and Nejd-Koweit boundaries, and to inform you that I
approve the proposals made in the two last mentioned
despatches.
2. With regard to despatch No.876, your proposals
relating to the Iraq-Nejd frontier also are approved,
subject to rectification of a small mistake which occurs
in the concluding sentence of the second paragraph of
Protocol No. 1. The words '‘Latitude 32 East" should
read "latitude 32 north" and, similarly, "Longitude 30
north" should read "longitude 39 east".
3. When finally signed, two certified trans
lations of the above agreements should be forwarded to
me. One is for record in this Department; the other
would be transmitted to the Foreign Office, in view of
the fact that His Majesty's Government are to some
extent responsible both for Iraq and for Koweit.
