rs OP . ^ " AL ISTIKLAL" ( Baghdad> 15. 1. 39.- . .
l&atke', && (J S^AuJi
The fallowing article signed w An Inhabi
tant of Kuwait” appeared in the M A1 Istiklal”
of Baghdad in its issue of January 15th 1938•
It was entitled!
” Kuwait and the Hejd”
« The Principalty of Kuwait was formerly
in the best of termes with the Nejd, as regards
their mutual commercial interests. It was an
easy thing to see for those who know both States•
Political reasons have driven the Saudi Govern
ment to boycott Kuwait goods. The boycott lasted
15 years although the populations of the two
countries felts its great disadvantages. In
such conditions, smuggling became a regular
trade and many a smuggler made a considerable
fortune that way. During these 15 years, the
Saudi Government made the greatest efforts to
stop their doings. The roads linking the two
states were closely watched and the smugglers
caught red-handed severly punished.
w ^hen a Legislative Assembly was formed
in Kuwait the Government felt it t&eir first
duty to resume their good relations with the
Saudi Government. It is painful to admit that
the latter did not seem to appreciate the goodwill
of the Kuwait Assembly. The negotiations utterly
failed. /e hear from well informed cercles that
the main reason for this failure is that the
customs tariff and the price of goods is very
much out of peeping. For instance in Saudi Arabia
the duty for one sack of sugar is equal to that of
$0 sacks in Kuwait, tfhy does not the Saudi Govern
ment lessen the burden of their subjects ?
5 We humbly address His majesty King Ibn
3 aud who is kind and righteous and hope that
he will not be prevented from reading our plea.
