firm in this vast country and establisliod this sort of
rule will never be a weak one and unable to punish the
Dawish and others like him# Nothing has prevented us
from punishing the Dawish at the present time except
what w"^ referred to in our s^v4ral letters which we
sent to the British Government.
\
We made one condition in the matter of purTtefujft^r
the Dawish and his followers which we make clear in
our tM r letter viz that the Iraq Government should
undertake that when we punish the Dawish and his follow
-srs should any of them run away to Iraq either before
we effect the punishment or after it Iraq Government
should undertake to turn him out and object to shelter
him. When the Iraq Government make such an undertaking
you will then see how we punish the Dawish and all those
who took part with him in these actions of which we
disapprove, it will be a punishment that, by the grace
of God, will prevent them for ever from taking action
on the frontier. But if we were to send a force today
for their punishment which may or may not catch them
and punish them, and then they run away to' Iraq
Government and there the Iraq Government accept
and welcome them, what will be the result of our punish
-nent then. If the Iraq Government underrtake to turn
them out when they take refuge with them then the
present condition of affairs will be altered.
With exceedingly great surprise we read that it
is the intention of the British Governmmnt to attack
with their Military aeroplanes the Mutair tribe at
thexicxKtng places in which they are living in our
country and kingdom and punish a party of our subjects
in the interior of our country. V/ill not the British
Government see in this action a breach of our
\.
independance and an aggression against our national
authority which no inter ••national law wil^. allow
