about a more hopeful state of affairs, and at the end of the year there was
a faint hope that this question might be solved. As in the case of smuggling
into Iraq it is not the Kuwaiti tribesmen who actaully do the smuggling
but those under the authority of the Saudi Government.

ment. The inicdent on the whole probably had a good effect since the next
party which came to Kuwait was properly accredited.

destitute Indian pilgrims had been collected by the local authorities in Hasa,
and asked that arrangements should be made to transport them to Bahrain.

concentration camp should be arranged in Bahrain by the

grims to India. The remainder followed in batches by Slow Mail as oppor-
