P.S.
As to your recommendations wdth the aim of pre
serving the lives of monammendans in Somaliland, 1
must tell you that i have a man for this mission, but
as he had gone to ivedina i have sent for him. If
there should be any difficulty about him 1 will send
another as quickly as possible.
As regards the money, I have already made arr
angements with bearer about it, but now we cannot
think about that lest we fail to agree witii our
friends (the British) and in this case, if we take
the money, we may give cause for objectionable ideas
about us.
About this item
- Content
Part 4 consists of correspondence relating to the possible declaration of a caliphate in Arabia and is a continuation of part 3 (IOR/L/PS/10/525/1). The papers tell of the British assessment of the situation and the French attitude, as well as correspondence and negotiations with Ḥusayn bin ‘Alī al-Hāshimī, the Grand Sharif of Mecca. The file also discusses the British view of the proposed blockade of the Arabian ports in the Red Sea.
The file also includes a printed document (ff 25-242) marked 'secret' entitled 'Policy in the Middle East', which consists mainly of communications on the military situation in Mespotamia from Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Mark Sykes to the Director of Military Information.
The discussion over such matters is mostly between Sir Arthur Henry McMahon, the General Officer Commanding, Egypt, and the Commander-in-Chief, India.
