(a) For a historical survey of the State of Kuwait, previous Administra
tion Refiorts should be consulted as space does not permit of this being done
here.

K.C.I.E., C.S.I., has managed his State during the year under review with his
usual ability and success, and as time goes on tends more and more to copy the
methods and policy of his famous grandfather, Shaikh Mubarak al Subah, who,
it has been justly said, possessed one of the shrewdest political brains the Middle
East has ever produced.
(c) The Shaikh has maintained correct and friendly official relations with
his two powerful neighbours, the Kingdom of Iraq and Saudi Arabia, lying to
the North and South of his Kingdom respectively, in spite of the uncompromiz
ing attitude of the former in the matter of the Al Subah Date Gardens on the
Shaft al Arab and their so called anti-smuggling policy and the steadily main
tained land Blockade by the forces of H. M. King Bin Sand.
