That the Wahabi wasfare against Transjordania, Iraq and Koweit has the support of the Soviet Government, is charged in reports published in the press here.

According to these reports, many Communist propagandists were despatched from Tiflis to Arabia to work among the Wahabis.

A report in the Stockholm newspaper, “Tidningen,” states that the Soviet Government offered aeroplanes arms and money to Ibn Saud.
