1now be cornea iniJiitiaia ely necessary to consider
what action should be taken in regard to this pay meni, and I
incline to whe view that i- .ould be preferable to pay, to
keep Bin >aud in a -ood Lemjer during the conference,
r L ;ar v /hich r o i -epljj is /el forthcoming.
If the contrary view prevails, that payment should
be suspended until the results of the conference are known,
the arguLient r.iight be employed that in '-aud has quarrelled
openly in the couise of the last six months with every
neighbour of his except his notorious enemy, he hi ng itf the
Hedjaz, that his cumducin regard to Yemen, ^atar, Balxrain,
Kuwait, Iraq ana Trans-Jordania ha.^, whether intentionally
or by misfortune, cause for disquiet to His "ajesiy's
Gove nment and that they would prefer to await the result of
the Peace Conference to reassure themselves of his peaceful
intentions. I, however, earnestly deprecate the second
alternative, which I consider will make Bin Saud exception-
-ally difficult to deal wit h throughout t he conference.
