My LorO> Duke,
With reference to my tvio sutaequent despatches
dealing orovisionally with the Iraq-Kajd and Kuwait-Kajd
frontiers, it would he convenient if we could at the sane
time arrive at a decision as to the frontier which we can
advisedly recognise as between Iraq and Kuwait.
I have the honour to suggest for the consideration
of His Majesty’s Government that it would he reasonable for
us to consider that the said frontier should start in the
South from the point on the green line of the Anglo-
Turkish Agreement of 29th July, 1913, where the Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. -el-
Audja intersects with the iatin, and from thence follow the
said green line along the batin to its termination at the
mouth of the Xhor Zubier just South of Jebel Sanam Safwan
to
and Um-Qasr, leaving them Iraq.
I shall be glad to be informed 'hether the
pnoosition meets the views of His Majesty’s Government. I
may mention that the question of the Iraq-iuiwait frontier
hasnot hitherto been raised by King Faisal or his Go r ernrnent
and they will presumably accent our decision in regard
thereto.
I have, etc.
