II. The Ruling Family.
(a) His Excellency Shaikh Ahmad al Jabir as Sabah, has continued to
be the Ruler of Kuwait and administered the State during the year under
review with ability. He has maintained correct and friendly relations
with his neighbours—Iraq and Saudi Arabia—inspite of the continuation
of the trade blockade, an abortive conference i$ Kuwait thereon and the
continuation of certain disquieting signs from Iraq which are mentioned
in the section of this Report dealing with foreign relations.
(b) His Excellency left Kuwait for a tour in Europe on the 24th of
June. . He visited Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Italy, France, England and Egypt
returning to Kuwait amid the rejoicing of the people on the 14th of
September. The tour benefited His Excellency in health and has stimu
lated his interest in things beyond the knowledge of Kuwaitis who stay at
home. . .
Among other things he acquired abroad were house property m Cairo
and an Egypto-Syrian Secretary (male) who returned with him to Kuwait
and remained here.
Apart from the honour of being received by His Majesty the late
King and the privilege accorded him of discussing certain of Kuwait s
problems with interested Departments of the Home Government, what
pleased His Excellency most during his tour was the Naval Review and
later his view of the British Fleet in Alexandria harbour which he was
kindly shown by Mr. Kelly, the then acting High Commissioner in Egypt

Shaikh of Kuwait in 1914 in guaranteeing freedom from taxation for h
