Please refer to your deal official letter
No. Ext.461/47, dated the 12th March, 1947.
2. I am not in favour of the first two suggestions
in Dunbar's letter. There is no established process in
Kuwait for enacting laws and if the Shaikh were to take the
present opportunity for establishing such a practice ouch
undesirable publicity and coausent would be likely to ensue,
kith regard to the third suggestion alans or notices have
been issued by Shaikhs in the past cf. Shaikh Mubarak's
alans published as Kos. 3B and 3C in the collection of
Treaties and Engagements in force between the British
Government and the Bulers of Kuwait, 1841 • 1913. * ven so,
1 consider that for the Shaikh to publish such an alan in
the present case out of the blue and not as a result of any
specific Incident might again cause undesirable comment.
If, however, it is considered essential that the shaikh should
publish something In writing to establish Kuwait's claim to
the bay this is the best course to recommend to him.
3. 1 see no objection to the proposal In the
third paragraph of Dunbar's letter and I recommend that we
should inform the Kuwait Oil Company in writing that his
territory Includes the whole of the Bey up to its mouth which
should be defined as in paragraph 8 of Admiralty letter No.
