of tho censorship committoe without having any reasonable
Justification, We, thereofro, requost Your Highness to
abolish it ao that the Press may enjoy the nocossory free­
dom within the limits of the Press Regulation issued by
Your Highness* Government last yoar, until its duties are
defined by tho Legal Export when ho lays down tho requisite
lawo for the Country,
Pollcemon from Abroad.
Tho pooplo rocoived with great pleasure the denial
by the Government of the rumours which were spread about the
bringing of policemen from Iraq and wo hope that Your
Highness* Government would issue a. frank Notlco confirming
that no policement would bo brought from abroad, irrespective
of their nationality. At the somo time, wo request that
the Govornmont should endeavour to replace the foreign police­
men at present being employed in the Polioe Force, by local
citizens and this for many reasons, amongst which ore to
ovoid overburdoning the budget with heavy expenses and the
employment of unemployed citizons. It has never been the
preotice, also, for Governments of civilised countries in
the world, to employ foreigners in their Security Department
and that is to avoid any estrangement or a clash that may
happen between a foreign policeman and a citizen, bocause
of the difference in customs and manners, as happened before
tho Manamon Municipality on the 11th March,1966,
We have a great confidence in Your Highness* good
way of dealing with the affairs, and all we hope for is
tho achiovomentof Your People's hopes and desires under
the shadow of Your Highness* reign. May God prolong
Your Highness? life and save you as a treasure for this
Country.
