Government of India and to this Department, when the
necessary action to he taken will he concerted and
instructions will be issued to you accordingly.
6. Questions of this nature are best illustrated by
a concrete example, and to this end I would invite reference
to the recent measures taken for the re-organisation of the
Koweit Customs originally proposed in your despatch of the
20th of June Do.298S. In so far as these measures are
directed to the improvement of the revenues of Koweit and of
the local machinery of Government, I do not regard myself as
dir ectly concerned: but the further ob;ject which is in view -
the settlement of the outstanding customs disputes between
Eoweit and Nejd - I regard as the direct concern of this
Department and I should be glad if you would continue to
consult me on this aspect of the matter.
7. There is in addition one subject, that of the
development of the oil resources of the Arabian littoral, to
which no reference has been made above. For various reasons
His Majesty’s Government have decided that the question of the
grant of oil concessions in those territories cannot
conveniently be separated from the cognate question of the
grant of similar concessions in Iraq, Nejd, Palestine, etc.,
and that the development of the oil resources of those areas
of .the Middle East which are subject to the influence of
His Majesty’s Government must be considered as a whole.
Consequently I shall be glad if you will continue to
address me on this subject as heretofore.
I have the honour to be.
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble Servant,
(Signed) J.H. THOMAS.
