4 " A1 Nahar" Beirut. 27.2.39.
An article by a correspondent in Basrah appeared in the
n Al Nahar” of Beirut in its issue of February 27th. The article
states that the situation Kuwait is very serious and pessimism is
growing as a result of the Amir's hesitation to approve of the
constitution. The Amir makes use of perpetual hesitation as a
pretext and causes the Legislative Assembly to be unable to fulfill
its duty. Armed forces watch night and day in the administrations builc
buildings and the nationalists are submitted to small vexations.
But the population of Kuwait keeps a very firm attitude which nothing
seems to be able to alter. The Amir tries to make the population
tired and to bring the Legislative Assembly to give a general
resignation. But up to now only one member resigned while the others
seem prepared to fight. The population will not let its rights be
lessened. TK& The general feeling is now that Kuwait is to be
annexed to Iraq. The correspondent believes that if the present
situation does not change many families from Kuwait will apply for
the Iraqi nationality.
”A surprising fact, says the correspondent, is the attitude of
King Ibn Baud towards Kuwait. I was informed by reliable persona'
that King Ibn Baud gave Amir El Sabbah the advice to dismiss tl
Legislative Assembly and to stifle the nationalist feelings in
country. Is King X Ibn Baud afraid to see the population of Ne
for a greater participation in the Government ?
