f
r??® let t er „from Mr. G.W. Rendel,
Yoar more important suggestion is in regard to
the paragraphs dealing with the Koweit, But here my
difficulty is rather the same. I could, of course, put
in a couple of paragraphs in defence of the Sheikh oi
Koweit, but the difficulty is that a good many copies
of the report have already gone out, and I am not sure
whether so important an alteration is practicable
without a good deal more labour than would be justified.
Moreover, we have now discussed the whole question of
Koweit at the interdepartmental meeting which took place
here on Lay 18th when the various points you make in
your letter were very fully gone into. In the
circumstances might it not be enough to insert a
passage in any covering letter you send to the
recipients of the report, explaining that you have drawn
my attention to the possible unfairness to the Sheikh
in the passages in question and that the whole matter
has now formed the subject of further discussion in the
course of which a somewhat new light was thrown on the
problem/
