Yc\r telegram No* 360. King Hussain !! b subsidy?
Ye nr telegram No . 329 a only arrived Karch 18 til*
I have since carefully considered question of reduction
and remain strongly of opinion that it slmund os more gradual
than proposed by Treasury* To cut domi April payment
suddenly to £00,000 might have most unfortunate results*
King Hussein murTt necessarily retain a defensive force
East of Mecca at present, for a considerable interval must
lapse before Ibn Baud, can receive and give any effect to
message repeated in your telegram No* 323. Further reduc
tion of latter ? s subsidy by one half which is to be mentioned
to Kinrh will hardly be construed as indicating our dis
approval of Hahhabl aggression, if we simultaneously reduce
Fedjaz subsidy by one third. ,
I recommend therefore that April payment should be au
least £100,Q00« ^ .
It shoui.d be possible to reduce this to £80,000 for May
if situation develops favourably.
■Regarding Medina relief I would repeat suggestion made
in my 350 that this mi edit be met by special loan of say 50,000
recoverable from Turkish Government. Please reply. Urgent.
