KWaIT AIR AGiidl^Li^T
I did not attend any conference on this subject
but ms informed that it ms desired to renew the agree
ment if possible and to persuade the Kuwait Oil Company to
act as agents of H.M.G. We shall presumably be addressed
on the subject shortly. Mr. Southwell, Managing director
of the Company, told me he was most anxious to arrange for
air services to call regularly at Kuwait in connection
with the Company’s requirements there and I told* him that
the extent to which this could be permitted would probably
depend on the Company's willingness to maintain the landing
ground and facilities there
