Although I continue to think procedure decided upon is
injudicious and greatly diminishes the chances (which seemed
so good) of a comprehensive settlement i shall approach the
Iraqi Government as instructed. But before doing so I snould
be glad to be authorised to acquaint them with the nature oi
the proposals made to Saudi-Arabian Government explaining that
they will form the basis of negotiations which the Sheikh will
in due course initiate with Iraq. The Iraqi Government are
aware of the Saudi-Koweit discussions and could at any time
get the text of the proposals from Ibn baud and it would
obviously be preferable that they should be made known to
the Iraqi Government by me. I snoulu lire also to Da
to indicate roughly when discussions with Saudi Arabian
Government are likely to oe concluded,,
It might thus be possible to persuade the Rnme minister
temporarily to shelve smuggling question and to proceed with
others but I confess that I am not hopeful.
Addressed to Foreign Office, repeated to bushire No. 6
and Koweit No. 4.
