I was the first person to hear of the proposal

presented to His Highness Shaikh ^hmad al Jabir as Sahah
before the latter packed off for the Briti da Capital - the
proposal v /hich urged the necessity for reforming the
situation in Kuwait by re-organizing its Government under
the supervision of the British advice. Indeed, I was the
first person to hear of this important news; am the v/ay
I heard it admitted of no doubt in the truth of it. I,
however, did not like then to make io puolic, ou u o. pity
for the name of an Arab country v /hich we regret to see
compelled by a foreign power to refonn its own affairs.
Those at the helm ought of their own accord to carry out
the reformation, so as not to leave room lor t^ny political
aspirant to achieve his ends.
However, now that the news auout v/hich i ciLi going
to write. has appeared in the daily newspapers, and the
Government of Kuwait has kept silent on the report tnd aade
no comments, and has furthermore not even bothered to deny
it, I have no choice but to put in my wcrd on this serious
event in the political history of Kuwait. I am particularly
constrained to do this because I, as my readers know, and
as His Hi^mess the Shaikh also knows in particular, was the
first person who discussed Kuwait politics sericasly.
