, Kuwait. It would appear
to us that the reply to the Iraqi Government
in all three cases must be that in the absence
of any extradition treaty between Iraq and
Kuwait the Shaikh cannot be asked to hand back
either the persons or the property concerned.
2. At this end we see no objection to the
conclusions of a formal extradition treaty
between His Majesty's Government acting on behalf
of the Shaikh of Kuwait and the Iraqi Government
but before we approach the Foreign Office we
snould be glad to know whether you have any
views on the subject.The extradition treaty
between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia was printed in
White Paper Cmd. 6382, entitled Arabia No.3(1942).
3. We are sending a copy of this letter to
Eastern Department and Kuwait.
Yours ever,
