l Arab empire, rhe rulers and the Amirs of Kuwait, v/ho are
strict about their nationality and religion have never
preferred a foreign protection to an i Arab union and to
a national and religious ties.4.he annexation of ruiwait
with *iraq will lead to a state of peace on the uoast
of the ^Arab (iulf and, at the same time, will keep this
state in a stffe position in case of sudden happenings,
and will also guard it against foreign control, to which
it might be subjected, and will prevent using it as
a place for intrigues against the ^Arab's nationalist,
the j^ast and the xs'Jamic niast. xt will also give a
chance for a real understanding among the v Arab states
instead of disputes, and thus will leave no chance to the
foreigners to interfere in the matter of settling the
dispute,about the bablah and other matters, between Kuwait
and the l Arab kingdom, on the plea of a British rrotection
to jsuwait.
ihe unsettled state of affairs in Ettrope call for a
deep thinking as to what will be the faith of 1 Arabia if
it were to remain in its present state, when the ^Arab
states are united, the r Arabs can make their voice,
about the protection of their rights and status, more
heard* xhey will also be able to send their mission to
all the eastern countires, which fact will stand as a
strong pillar for peace and liberty.
we hope that the union of Kuwait with J Iraq, which
is the ideal of every 'Arab, will be achieved as soon as
possible.
