Iraq Government will have to decide the case of people who h ve
croeeed without giving sufficient guarani ee. Peace will depend
upon the way in which the agreement it worked.
19 . I do noi think that the Nejd authoritiee are e rioue
in iheir demand 6. In any case I Ehell be prepared to inform them
that the demand iB hopelet. 6.
20 . au regards point 7 I hope that it hae been sufficiently
dealt with by the solution suggested in point 6 of Baghdad iele ram
<o. 4 # dated the 5 rd of January 1924 . -here hae been very considerable
discussion over the case of Ibn iujlad and the Iraq delegates are
confident that he and his tribe will not go back to Nejd, if they
unders i nd ih t they will not be permitted to return to Iraq. fhe
Nejd argunKnU in support of ibn Mijlad being a iiejd subject are
entirely worthless and it is difficult to believe that they are
seriously pressed. -K is quite clear th^t article 1 of protocol
2 of the Mohammcrvh Convention in no w; y supports the Nejd cl. 1 im.
21. At tiK 3 th Session of the Conference the del ate from
xrans-Jordania set forth the demands of his Governm nt on Eejd.
.before the conference began, I had some idea from Cabih Beg, the Iraq
envoy, of the kind of speech we were to expect from li 'hulqi Peg.
Cabih Beg recognised that much of it would be treated at irrelevant
snd so,to do him justice, did Ali Xhulqi Beg. But he represented
that he was absolutely bound bji his instructions and that he would
himself be taken personally to task and held responsible, if he did
not say the words that had been put in his mouth. I therefore
allowed him to proceed and, when he had concluded, merely informed
the ilejd delegates that they need not trouble to reply to large
portions ol hit arguments with which the Conference's constituted
under t e auspices of his Majesty’s Govtrnnk nt .had nothing to do.
.part from the question oi the actual boundary, the arrangements
come to between Bejd and Iraq will proiably be followed, except for
trifling differences of detail, by the agreements between .tfejd and
Trans Jordania and the really important point between the two parties
