Your No. 74-3. As far as 'Iraq is concerned the only danger
under present circumstances is that there is nothing to prevent
the Ikhwan from passing up towards Safwan through the zone
between the red and green lines representing the territory and
sphere of influence of Kuwait.
This is perhaps very unlikely, but. can ’Iraq rest assured that
there is no danger of it?

Your No. <82-3. Please see last paragraph of my No. 74-3.If any
considerable delay be foreseen ’Iraq certainly cannot rest
assured. On the other hand is a temporary Kuwait - Najd line
much protection to her? In practice Shaikh Ahmad could not keep
Ibn Sa’ud's followers out of his territory by himself if they
wanted to come, and in view of the verbal agreement which he
says exists between them (vide enclosure to my memo. No. 18<-C
of 24th October) he might not even like to to risk impairing ^
his relations with him by requesting them to go.
I would suggest as an alternative if you consider further
action necessary to definitely forbid subjects of both states
other than those travelling to the port in the interests of
trade to cross red line into Kuwait territory oi* to cross the
29 th parallel in the undetermined territory between the red
and green lines.
