- Scope & Content:

The file contains correspondence regarding Iraq's relations with other Arab nations, predominantly with Kuwait. The papers dated 1932-1934 discuss British concerns over moves to institute closer relations between Iraq and Kuwait, as well as smuggling, Pan-Arabism in the Gulf, and Ibn Saud's concerns over Iraqi ambitions. Papers dated 1938-1939 concern the status of Kuwait as an independent Shaikhdom under British protection, and apparent Iraqi desire to annex Kuwait. These papers include samples of propaganda published in a number of Iraqi newspapers, and summaries of broadcasts made by King Ghazi's broadcasting station, Qasr al-Zihour (folios 63-75).
The correspondents are: the India Office Political Department; the Colonial Office; the Foreign Office; the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf; the Political Agent, Kuwait; and HM Ambassador to Iraq.
