mx y ou W in recollect that during my last visit to Kuwait
we informed the Shaikh in the sense of paragraph 2 of my Express
Letter to the Colonial Office. In order, however, to underline
this warning please write to His Excellency and point out that
should the Anglo Persian Oil Company or the Eastern & General
Syndicate approach him on points which are likely to lead to
discussion on such questions as Telegraphs, Hallways, exclusion
of certain areas, etc., he should avoid discussing such details
until he has decided to which of the two companies he is going to
grant the concession. Should he feel doubtful as to whether
any point put forward by either of the companies infringes on
any of the •reserved subjects* he should ask your advice and you
can communicate with me.
Please remind Shaikh to keep you generally informed of
course of discussions with representatives of companies.
Heference paragraph 3 of the Coltonial Office telegram.
Without pressing the Shaikh please ascertain how the land lies
and telegraph me repeating to Colonial Office.
