Sir,
V V
..ith reference to your -rinted Jonfidential Letter
No.G/211, dated the 15th 1-ay 1934 and enclosures, I have
the honour to enclose translation of
(a) Letter i:o.R4/l511, dated the 19th I .ay from
H.E. the Shaikh of ilu^Tai t to myself, together
with enclosure;
(b) Translation of an article i;o.42, which
appeared in the Iraq newspaper the 'Saut al
Ahali" (Voice of the people) under date 7th
llay 1934.
2. I would ask on behalf of H.3. the Shaikh that
further representations be made if possible to the Iraq
G-overninent with a view to trying to get these unpleasant^
attacks definitely stopoed.
3. From our Western point of view it might be argued
that such attacks thou^i in "bad form" are in the nature
of honest criticism and do little harm. The difference
however is that we are dealing with the Jast, and an Arab
Ruler in close relations of friendship with us. Hot only
should we, I think, try and take all steps to keep his fair
name from being besmudged, but we should realize that
such attacks hurt deeply, where to a Westerner they would
perhaps cause amusement.
4. I would ask what the feo.V-ngs of a J J„ decent
people in Iraq would be, were a Kuwaio newspaper to
publish/-
