2. Hafiz Wafcba is an Egyptian by origin and ov/ing to his
fanatical anti—British sentiments and political activities,
was imprisoned in and later deported from Egypt to India during
the course of the War*
In India however it appears that his political activities
were again the cause of his being deported from there and he was
returned to lilgypt* iLater he was allowed to proceed to Iraq and
Kow^jt to bring his family to Igypt, but he installed himself
in Bahrain where he opened a school and for some time acted
as correspondent to the Egyptian newspaper ^El Akbar tt * Later
still he came in touch with Bin Saud and because of the tt Rajal
al Khasa 1 * of the Imam whom he represented at the Kowelt
Conference and again at the Bahra Conference, together with
Y'usef Yasin*
My information would tend to show that his anti-British
views have been considerably modified recently and General
Clayton, when the question of allowing Hafiz Y/ahba to proceed
to India arose, strongly recommended him, on account of the
helpful tendencies he had showed during the conference*
There would appear to be no doubt that he retains pan-
Islamic ideas. He keeps in very close touch with the local
Egyptian Consul and there are certain indications that his
national tendencies are stronger than his loyalty to Bin Saud#
But of this latter I have only suspicions and no direct evidence.
3o I am informing Bin Saud that Your Lordship has no objec
tion to iz proceeding to Palestine*

Office and Cairo*

About this item
- Content
The volume contains letters, telegrams, and memoranda relating to affairs between the British Mandate of Iraq and The Kingdom of Najd and the Hejaz, ruled by Ibn Sa'ud. Most of the correspondence is between the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in Bushire, the Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, the High Commissioner in Baghdad, the Colonial Office in London, the Government of India, Ibn Sa'ud himself and his delegates.
The majority of the volume is concerned with cross-border raids and counter raids between Iraq and Najd and efforts to put a stop to them. With the British attempting to mediate, the raids were carried out by the Ikhwan and tribal groups in Iraqi and Kuwaiti territory, including sections of the 'Ajman, Mutayr, Shammar, Awazim, 'Utaibah, Harb, and Dahamshah tribes. The documents reflect the divergent opinions among British officials on what British policy should be in the region as well as the inadequacies of the borders as they were defined. The volume ends with efforts to set up a tribunal to settle claims of compensation between the two governments as stipulated in the Bahra Agreement.
