yi. Condition of the Country,
Law and order have remained unchanged. Security in the hiterland
continued to be good except for a brief interval in the early Summer when
there were repercussions from the Iraq Rebellion in Kuwait’s northern
desert.
VII. Foreign Relations.
(a) Saudi Arabia.
(1) Frontier Incident .—A small frontier incident caused attention in
May. On the 6 th of that month six retainers of Ibn Jaluwi, Governor of
the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, A1 Hasa, without permission
crossed the frontier and ordered one Misha’al al Timyat, a Shaikh of the
Shammar Sinjara, a non-Kuwaiti tribe grazing in Kuwait territory to
move into Saudi Arabia at Hafar al Batin, just over the frontier. This
would have meant a difficult if not impracticable march for a camp with
its impediments to make in May. The leader of the Saudi Arab Govern
ment party also ordered other sections of the Shammar and certain Dhaifir
elements to cross the frontier.
The party was brought into Kuwait by order of the Shaikh and
temporarily housed with the Saudi Arab Agent.
Meanwhile men of the Mutair stirred to hear that their wells of Hafar
al Batin were to be occupied by the Shammar at Ibn Jaluwi s order sent
messengers with complaints to Riyadh and Kuwait.
The crossing of the frontier was a subject of protest through the proper
official British channels to the Saudi Arab Government. I he fact that the
party, as is customry in the desert, were armed drew perhaps undue atten
tion to an incident that seems to have occurred through the stupidity and
arrogance of a tribal servant of the Governor of Hasa, Half Abu bhijera,
the leader of the party.
(2) The Trade Blockade .—The Trade Blockade continuing, the
staging of a conference, at which it was hoped some progress leading to
abandonment of the blockade might be made, was brought about through
the
agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
of His Majesty’s Government, m the Summer of 1935.
The delegates with a large entourage arrived on the scene, the town o
Kuwait, after unexpected delays by the 17th June.
Discussions were opened from the following day and iasted until the
24th June when the parties began to write to each other instead I he point
on which the conference eventually broke down was that whereby the Saudi
Arab delegates held Kuwait bound to prevent all smuggling having defined
all smuggHngas including even a single case; on pam of which any agree
ment would be considered null. . , ,
The conference thus terminated without progress having been made on
the 30th of June and the Saudi Arab delegates left for their own country
