Telegram P., No. D. S.-105, dated the 22nd November 1915.
f From—His Excellency the Viceroy, Camp,
To—His Majesty’s Secretary of State for India.
Your tel egram* of the 19th November presents Sheriff’s letter in a less
favourable light than your telegramf of
+ -o,\o. 21 . the ISth November.
^ Majesty’s Government are disposed to give a guarantee that they
will assist and protect proposed Arab Kingdom as far as lies in their power,
would it not be desirable at once to say that although interest of Great Britain
demand a friendly administration in the V ilayat of Baghdad, such special
interests must necessitate a consideration of future of Mesopotamia much
fuller than the situation and urgency of negotiations permit at present ?
A formula on these lines containing no specific mention of Basrah would
without I hope unduly exciting Sheriff’s suspicions give us a free hand
afterwards.
