His Higliness rejected the proposal of the monopolistic
party, merely because he suspected that the intention of
the monopolistic Greek Company was to supply the fish to
the jews of Palestine, in spite of the Company^s generous
terms and the advantage that would have accrued to the
G-overnment of Kuwait#
In acknowledging my indebtedness to your bright
newspaper for publishing my article, out of consideration
for the service of Truth and in fulfilment of the common
obligation to the great Arab Cause, I should like to throw
more light on certain points that I have outlined before:
I have lately come to know from a reliable source that
the monopolistic party offered to His Highness the Emir a
cash amount of £•10,000/- and a warrant he could confiscate
the amount should they fail to observe the term that none of
the Kuwaiti fish should be supplied to the Jews of Palestine#
This offer they have made In order to persuade him dismiss
from his mind the suspicion that had caused his refusal#
But he sent his private Secretary to convey to them his
final word of refusal with a kind hint in consequence of
which they left Kuwait#
I should like to add that forgery against Arab
Rulers, in matters connected with the Arab Cause In general,
as the Basra newspaper had ventured to do, would injure the
author, not to mention the confusion it would cause to the
minds# No one considerate Arab individual has the least
advantage in giving an impression about the sons of
pan«Arabism, especially Rulers among them, which is in
the farthest contrast with truth and reality#
If there happen to be an irresponsible man, who 9
for an end in his mind, finds pleasure in forgery against
the ^reat Arab Personalities and leaders of thought in
Arabia, ^ man whose refractory soul cannot be restrained
by morality or compunction, as Is the case In the forgery
made by the
writer
The lowest of the four classes into which East India Company civil servants were divided. A Writer’s duties originally consisted mostly of copying documents and book-keeping.
