Under the foregoing it will be observed that the
colonizing Department’s policy obviously is to arrange that
the Assir question should not be settled except by the sword,
and this is likely to be the case, At the present juncture ^
certain other colonizing Nation also with ambitions in the
tvsttleA Uj**
Red Sea, and who hh^e economic and political relations with
Yemen, has, it is stated, equipped Yemen with arms via
Eodeidah and Sanaa, and the great Colonizing Power of the
Gulf (England) has commenced sending equal amounts of arma
ments or perhaps less to Nejd through Uibail and the Hassa
route* Why all this assistance? What is meant by such aid?
The echoes we hear from the Gulf nowadays have a new tone.
What we want to hear is ft The Gulf for the people of the Gulf”,
But everything helps to explain to us the meaning of the
military assistance as being a preliminary to the establishing
a Kingdom in the Gulf, which idea has resulted from the though'
-ful brains of the colonizing politicians.
Undoubtedly the outbreak of War in the Aazirat
will be the separation of the ni ne protected principalities
from the Imam of Yemen; the cutting off of Qatif and A1 Hassa
from the Saudi Government - which events will allow of the
colonial group to form an Arab Kingdom in the Gulf, We doubt
if they will be successful in causing an outbreak of War bet
ween the Imam and the Saudi Government as we fully believe
both parties have sufficient experience to foresee the danger,
but we ask the King of ’Iraq, Ghazi I, and all leaders of
the Arab nation to throw in their influence in persuading
the two parties mentioned from going to War. Not only for the
interests of the Yemen and Saudi Government, but for the
safety of the whole Arab Nation.
