ihe Conference met at 9-50 a.m.on ^edneed y the 26th
Meirch 1924 the same membere i.feinf preeent as on the pr vioue
day. xhe rainutee oi the last meeting Were read and approved.
The President asked the Irane Jordanian delegates what
their opinion was of the three proposals which he had p>it
forward at tbu previous me ting.
Ibrahim Beg Hashim :-
Mr.i'resident,when wt claim
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
£lrhan,our claim i
just for the various reasons which we have mentioned in
previous meetings,and besides, the district in question is
a stage on the way to Iraq, but,although we want to
administer Jauf, we wish to it to be clearly understood that
we h; ve no intention of interfering with Hail,for example
we have a civilised and properly organized government with
regular laws which tend to th establishment of peace in
the country and progress amongst tue inhabitants.Whereas,
all Ibn Sa*ud wants Jaul lor is as a case from which to
entice our tribes iroin us nd to incite them against us,which
would be intoler tie. It is Ion Ta^ud's bein' in Jauf that
prevents our budget from being as it should be even now,as
our tribes threaten to go over to him whenever we want to
enlorce any order or levy taxes. 11 British officials
speak highly of our administration and cevtlopment and
everything except the state of our linances -but that is
only because Jauf is in the hands of Ibn Ba*ud.
resident :-
From what you say I g ther that it would suit you to
leave this country as an independent st^te under Ibn Sha’lan.
Ibrahim heg Hashim ;
In winter all our tribes are in the
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
Sirhan.So
how can we agree to Ibn Jha*lan ruling it. Ibn Ba*ud
maintains that he wants to safeguard his communications with
Damascus. Well Jauf and Cak&kah alone affect his communica-
-tions so why should there by any talk about
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
