hlM to supply Fulsal with his full requirements*
Moreover it is desirable for political reasons that
King Hussein should not hear the whole brunt of
operations in Maan Area and North nd thus secure a
preponderating voice in regard to future settlement of
Syrian problem,
I therefore strongly urge Gomander~in-Chiei be
empowered by War Office to exceed surn of £200,000 already
granted for Arab operations in North and to increase
it up to total of at least £500,000 should it be found
necessary to do so,
Ihen money is required it is required urgently and
it is not possible to await specific approval without
danger of losing opportunities*
I cannot sufficiently emphasise importance which
I attach to this question. Ill-advised economy at
present juncture will result in robbing us of benefits
of our Arab policy which now appear to be on the point
of materialising, A review of total expenditure involved
in connection with our whole Arab policy in comparison
with political and military results obtained will amply
justify a moderate outlay in order to achieve complete
success,
Commander-In-Chief concurs.
