TUe Arnb© of Kuweit are pure Ar^bs and have had their
full share in Arab!o affair® inspite of the obstacles that
are being placed in their way. Their youth are enthusiastic
and imbibed with the Arab nationalist idea. It has so
happened, however, that Kuweit has employed recently a member
of Free-mason order - an undesirable who is accustomed to
fabrications and the opposition of Arabic Questions which affect
this country* s life directly. The rest of the officials are
not better than him in th&ix sentimcnts inspitc of their
being Kuwei t natives. observ ers of conditions in iCuweit wi th
an unbiassed mind would arrive at the confusion that the
governing element has nothing in comiEon ,1 th the public, for
besides the fact that the Britisdi <Dhsul holds everything in
the palm of his hand; he o n admit ,^ny one he likes rhd prevent
any one he dislikes from entering the country, even the other
affairs are being conducted entirely contrary to the wishes
and bentiients manifested by the youth and the general public,
ws need no evidence if we were to state that the people have
started to di jplay their dissatisfaction with the present
state of aff.lrs, Tiiey are denouncing these beiiaviours by
inscriptions on walls and by hand-bills. Such incidents are
being repeated d, ; y and night, a tiling hi eh indicates the
gravity of the situation and the people 1 s discontent with tlie
methods adopted for their government, the country has started
to feel now* the v lue of a consultative government and the
benefits of culture and education. Tliey extremely abhor to see
all the doors dosed before the sincere Arab brothers when they
wish to visit their coir.try* Resentment reached its climax
when they heard that the British Consulate had refused to
permit some Palestinian youth like Akr-•^a *,u* ox te-r and Ji&shad

here voice the feelings of the public, but he must be sure
that the public has not trie slightest say in tliese matters.
Ta or a are p er ao n s who hav a do li ci 1 ed thems elv @ s h er e and are
inciting their master© to- severe nil linguistic and religious
relations with tiieir bro there abroad. This is inorder to
baffle the nationalist endeavours and stifle the patriotic

It is a com.ion fact that the whole of Arabia is proud of

feeling be, therefore, if ruch people were to be prohibited
from visiting ,, country to *hioh twiey are linked by religion,
lan^mage and nationality? It is a big scandal, twee magnitude
of vhi eh ought to be guessed by those that stand as stumbling
stone in the path of closer ties between the Arab countries.
Ohe Kuweiti youth, inspite of their small numbers and
their lf=ck of means of publicity, realise© well that dfeery
measure taken in the name of Kuweit, such as refusal of
employment of * Iraqis and prevention of Arab intelligent! a
from visiting Kuweit, wounds the feelings of their brothers
tsid e, but they wash th
eir hands clean
