Dated the 9th Larch 1935.
Shaikh of Kuwait has complained that without
ciny warning some Iraqi Tax gatherers in uniform have just
been collecting taxes on animals belonging to Iraqi
tribesmen at present grazing in Kuwait territory. Tax
gatherers actually entered Kuwait torn to replenish food
stuff supplies. Shaikh points out that his own tax gatherers
were refused permission to enter Iraq territory to collect
similar tax on Kuwaiti tribesmen and very properly did
not cross frontier.
2. It is unfortunate that at the present juncture
there should have been another Iraqi encroachment (if
only of a minor nature) which cannot fail to irritate
Shaikh.
