honourable Kuwaiti brethren who frequently coue to this
country to attend to their business concerns, and in the
course of these talks w© perceived deeply rooted in their
hearts the bitterness of despair and hope.

It is, therefore, with ^reat disappointment that
we find ourselves compelled to unveil Eiany things, the
incidence of ;tiich could have been prevented by the wise
policy of the Chiefs and those who filled the highest
positions in that isolated land, which is populated by a
nation who conform to the Muslim religion and have pure
i^rab sympathies flowing in their veins, seeing that silence
over such conditions in a land whose welfare concerns us not
a little is a destestable shortcoming towards those brethren
with 7&Lom we are connected by ties of neighbourhood, blood
and relationship, if the people of Kuwait had in a bygone
OF
epoch submitted to this kind/autocracy, it was because that
the extinct headships and chieftaincy that had then
existed amonj then, /ere of foresight and discretion enough
to protect their rights, fulfil the oblijations due to them,
and far more took part with them in their effusive xu?ab
sympathies, however difficult the circumstances and varied,
the imp re s si', es were. I ^ it not strange, erefore, i a t

ana tfhile magnanimity creeps into the hearss of individuals
