Siich a fcivualion iiat only ^o bo £t&ted to be reco; nieed
ae abeura and irapoEBible.
It wac after consideration oi arguments, tuch as
theae, advanced by His Majesty - ing ^^ied that Uie Colonial
Secret ry in the teiegrasi, to which I have Ire&dy referred above
expressed himself as lollows :«
I tT; inclined to agree that it it impossible to consider
raiding &t> an extradite ble crime and to share the view
that the Government of Iraq c* nnot be expected to
reiuse same to refugees from Hejo or to h nd them over
to Ion Sa’ud at his request.
tn th.e other hand, I see no reason why Iraq should
continue to harbour ^ejd refugees who abuse the
hospitality of Iraq by using th country as a base from
which to raid the Ikhwan.
Alter lull consideration oi the coni lictin. views,
expressed in recent, telegrams from yourself ana Knox, it
occurs to me that the following solution of the problem
might produce the desired result, i.e.peace on the
border.
Uejd trio.e,wishing to enter Iraq, should only be
allowed to do so on their giving a substantial ,‘uarante
* in money or cattle that they will abet- in from raiding.
" fhe Th mmar and other Hejd tribes, who have already
° established themselves in Ira.,, should also be called
upon, under pain of expulsion, to *ive similar guaran ee-«
! ihesc guarantees will be liable to confi&caiion in the
evtnt oi raids taking place and, if they were sufficiently
substantial ( i.c. uiort than they could hope to obtain
from a succtssiul raid), they would pro: a. 1. deter the
trioefc Irom aiding. are to b no reason why
the abovt; procedure which would of course be reciprocal,
should not be used in conjunction with & tribal tribunal
such as suggested in ihe second paragraph of your telegram
