British Legation,
Your Excellency, Jedda, April 20, 1942.
I have the honour to define for Your Excellency the procedure which we have
agreed upon as applicable to smuggling mentioned in Article 3 of the Extradition
Agreement signed this day.
If a person in Saudi Arabian territory is suspected of having brought in goods
from Koweit in contravention of the Trade Agreement signed on the 20th April,
1942, between the two Governments and escapes into Koweit territory, the com
petent authorities in Koweit, on receipt of the news thereof, shall arrest him and
seize any goods in his possession. If he is a Koweit national, the Koweit authorities
shall take the necessary action in regard to him; if he is a national of Saudi Arabia
or of a third Arab State they shall surrender him to the Saudi Arabian authorities
with the goods found in his possession.
I would request Your Excellency to let me have a reply agreeing to this.
I have, &c.
F. H. W. STONEHEWER-BIRD.
His Excellency
Sheikh Yusuf Yasin.
