Memorcndum.
please refer to your memorandum ITo.245-S
of 25th April, paragraph 3. The point of my statement
was to prepare in advance for a contingency which is
likely to arise. Arabs are conservative creatures and
as the local representative of Government mediated last
time they will probably want him to take some part in
the Treaty this time also. Moreover the Cmanis, who
are nervous - quite without cause of course - as to the
Sultan's intentions towards them will probably feel
safer if we countenance the Treaty in some way. If
they do make some such request then it will be an
advantage to have considered the situation beforehand.
If they don't then T c ûite agree we should stand aloof.
Should, however, they ask from us for &Dme sort of
recognition of the Treaty^then the suggestion at the
end of para 3 of my letter ZTo.79 of 4th April would seem
to represent the minimum of interference on our parV
and may satisfy the Ononis. There will be no need for
letter cf course unless the contf
