<
Cairo's weekly ”A1 Rabita A1 Arabia ,t making a general review of
the situation in Arab countries, writes what follows on August 10th*
w The works of the &uweit Legislative Council are steadily
progressing and the members are examining several new reforms.
Custom taxes have been abolished that were collected on all kind of
goods sent from Kuweit to towns and villages belonging to the
Principalty itself. The tax amounted to one rupee per bag of goods.
Thus there will exist no difference among the Kuweit inhabitants.
w The Council has also started to collect all the arms and ammu
nitions in view of the formation of a local police corps. The Legisla
tive Council is studying the Iraqi Laws in the intention to apply
them to Xv uweit. It would be profitable if they would be informed of
all the new laws established in this country since the formation of
the National Government.
H Tlx Council has dismissed several administrative officers who
did not give satisfaction. They have been replaced by ethers whose
integrity and ability is well known. Lastly, the Council has taken
in hand several plans left unexecuted at the Council "Molla Saleh**.
M Four British Ships of the "Indian Marine w arrived in Kuweit. The y
were to visit Iraq on July 17th but the joumeu was postponed. There
is however nothing abnormal in this visit."
