Kovaraber. The outbreak of hostilitiee between theee
t»» rulers had caused considerable disquiet to His
Uajesty's Government, who had riven careful thourht to
the iseans by which they could be instrumental in brinr-
ing it to an and.
In the month of June the position had been that
Ibn Saud was in possession of Khurma and Turaba, and
had suooessfully resisted two attempts by Kin* Hussein
to reassert his authority in those places. His Majesty's
Government had despatched Mr. Philby by air with the
intention that he should make his way to Ibn Saud, and
propose to him that hostilities should cease pending
a settlement of the dispute by a British Commission.
One of the conditions which was to have been made by
Mr. Philby was that Ibn Saud should withdraw his forces
at least from Turaba, and that a strip of country
should be left unoccupied between the contending armies.
Ibn Saud had, however, in the meantime, received a pre
vious message from His Majesty's Government which had
induced him to suspend hostilities and return to Riadh.
Mr. philby was accordingly unable to deliver the message
of His Majesty's Government and Ibn Saud had remained
in possession of Khurma and Turaba ever since.
He wished the Mission to understand clearly that
on the evidence before them. His Majesty's Government
were inclined to accept King Hussein's contention that
he was the rirhtful owner not only of Turaba, to which
hie claim appeared indisputable, but a.lso of Khurma: but
It was im-noasible for them to make a definite decision
on points of detail from this distance. They had been
quite ready to appoint a Boundary Oommission if this had
teen the desire of both parties. Ibn Saud had always
agreed to this solution, but Kinf: Hussein had objected.
