Dated the 10th February 1934.
Thaghr, dated the 30th January and 1st February, respectively
which contain further strongly anti-British articles,
dilating on the coming"Gulf Kingdom" which we are supposed
to be endeavouring to set up on the Arab seaboard of the
Persian Gulf.
3. As the mail is to leave to-morrow morning, I
have had no time to get the articles translated by my
Vernacular Staff, so I om sending th® papers in original,

articles very carefully, takes a most serious view of
f!

attention to them with a view to getting His Majesty's
<
Government to lodge a strong protest against their con
