My dear Rendel,
Your E 7201/22/31 Private and Confidential of
15th December, about Dickson’s visit to Riyadh, reached
me so shortly oefore I had to seu off to meet Ibn Baud
on 4th January that all I had time to do was to send you
a note saying that Dickson’s report was douotless
accurate as to Ion Saud’s own views. I meant, of course,
that he gives an accurate summary of what Ibn Baud said,
not that I accepted his deductions.
Having now had time to studp the conclusions
I accept (a), and of the other two I am inclined to
question (cj rather than (b). As to (o;i as the result
of my two interview's since my return I feel that only a
world war could drive Ion saud into tne other camp. Tnat
is how I interpret his feelings, though I do not say that
he has ever gone so far as to work out nis position in
the case of a world war. But tnere is a reser Vail ion to
be made,
he c annot
tTe^r -r^rdop t

If this is Ibn Baud’ s feeling it^ is'"because
believe that in thd last resort H.M.G. will
a Palestine.; policy grossly unfair to the
Al'abs. I am sure that he believes that there is now
hope that Jewish immigration will oe arrested. If we
were to decide on partition after all, or to allow
Jewish immigration to go on at the high rate of the last
few/
