18. Tn taeir memorandum of February 28 His Majesty's Government pro-
pounded the following points m the nature of suggestions or demands with the
necessary explanatory comments :— '
(1) Noting Ibn Sa'ud's expressed readiness to bring Article 3 of the Hadda
agreement into operation and having in view the proved necessity for immediate
co-operation between the authorities on both sides of the frontier, they proposed,
in pursuance of Sheikh Yusuf Yasin's request for suggestions as to be" method of
initiating such co-operation, that Captain Grlubb and Ibn Zeid should meet
to examine all representatives and claims regarding raids since August 1 ; (6) to
arrange for immediate restoration of loot on both sides ; and (c) to arrange'for the
intercommunication of information and mutual restoration of loot in future.
(2) They asked that Ibn Zeid should be invested with full executive powers
and that he and Captain Glubb should have power to call upon the representative
Sheikhs to put forward claims, etc.
(3) Having explained the inability of the Trans-Jordan authorities to main
tain the recent improvement of the situation unless immediate steps should be taken
to return the loot captured from their tribes since August 1, His Majesty's Govern
ment dwelt on various flagrant features of those raids, including the proved
culpability of En-Neshmi and his public statement that Ibn Sa'ud permitted raiding
into Trans-Jordan, a statement widely believed and not effectively disproved.
They said they " must insist that if this has not already been done, the strongest
measures should be taken to counteract the effect of En-N hmi's action in giving
countenance to raiding and to make it publicly known that His Majesty King
Abdul Aziz expressly disavows and condemns it ". They expressed hope that
a recent report of En-Neshmi's appointment to the Command of tribal forces
would prove to be unfounded.
(4) They asked the Hejazi Government to inform them as soon as possible that
they agreed to the proposed meeting and that Ibn Zeid would receive full powers
to deal with the matters proposed including the immediate restitution of camels and
other loot captured from Trans-Jordan tribes since August 1. They added that
Captain Glubb would be authorized to arrange for the restitution of any loot identi
fied as having been taken by Hejazi or Nejdi tribes.
(5) Finally His Majesty's Government, having regard to the urgent necessity
for restoring the camels looted from Trans-Jordan, offered British co-operation in the
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
Sirhan, if the Hejazi Government should find themselves confronted with
any practical difficulty in returning it immediately.
19. The sequel to this firm all-but-ultimatum will be related in the next report.
To complete the present section it is only necessary to add that during the period
under review it was decided under Captain Glubb's advice to introduce various
modifications into the scheme adopted last autumn for the improvement of the fron
tier control on the Trans-Jordan side.
20. Dtuzg Refugees in Nejd. —The question of the disposal of Sultan al-Atrash
and his followers, who have for some time been in Nejd close to the Trans-Jordan
frontier, again engaged attention early in the year. There were last year two
alternative proposals, viz. , that Ibn Sa ud should be asked to move them further into
the interior or that arrangements should be made for the party to be allowed to
settle in 'Iraq. No decision had apparently been taken up to the end of February.
The presence of the refugees so close to it is a thorn in the side of Trans-Jordan.
According to one account, which cannot be vouched for, the French are for their
part displeased with Ibn Sa'ud for affording hospitality to the party.

, etc. —Following on the transactions related in Section 6(a)
of the December Report and after further consultations between Baghdad and
London, King Feisal telegraphed to Ibn Sa'ud on February 7 proposing that his
Prime Minister should take advantage of a recess of the ' Iraq Parliament to visit
Jedda immediately after Ramadhan in order to sign the
