Translation of an article which appeared in the
rt Al Karklr' weekly newspaper of Baghdad, No.318, dated the

THE NECS^SITY OF V/SLDING KUWAIT Ii4T0
UNION wlTH , IRa^.
In view of the report that important changes are
to be shortly introduced into the iSmirate of Kuwait, and
that numerous telegrams were recently received here, which
stated that the British Colonial uffice have finally decided
to bring that part of Arabia under their direct control, and
to change the form of its government, it has become binding
over the Iraq G-overnment to make urgent 4; efforts to accede
to the requests of the enlistened youth in Kuwait who
eagerly demM that they should be united, with 'Iraq, and
that Kuwait should be finally annexed to this country (Iraq)*
Any observer of the geographical position of Kuwait
will no doubt give preponderance to its being annexed to
Iraq; also because the majority of the Kuwaiti educated
youngmen desire to fall in the bosom of their mother - the
Iraq. Moreover, most of the thought leaders in the above
i &airate descend from Iraqi families; and above all it is dia?
rectly connected with this country (Iraq) and is an integral
part of it. Affinity, uniformity of customs and manners
and the bonds of blood, religion and language - all these
firm connections leave no room for doubt in the fact that
Kuwait is an integral part of Iraq and that it will remain
so. Any contradictory idea should be rejected and should
receive no attention at all*
Further, by annexing Kuwait to Iraq the latter
will get rid of the calamity of smuggling which has in the
last couple of years had the worst efl'ect upon the trade
of Iraq.
