Your Excellency,
I have the honour to refer to your H 0 .CE/ 6 l /32
of the 22nd August, 1932, on the subject of the nationality
of tribes.
2. I attach hereto Lieutenant Colonel Feake f s
21 .^.^ 2 . attempt at the classification referred to and am of
opinion that it does not help us at all and should not be
communicated to Ibn Saoud. I also attach a memorandum,
A 20 . 32 . with which I am in full agreement, written by
Captain Clubb in criticism of Colonel Peake's letter.
3 . In forwarding this correspondence to me
Colonel Peake wrote as follows:-
"I entirely agree with Az Zaim Glubb Bey that,
it would be a fatal thing to show Ibn Saoud my Hote
on Nationality of tribes or to make any arrangement
with him with regard to this difficult question, aa we
should be bound by the arrangement and he would not.
My Note was written with the sole idea of
giving suggestions, entirely for our own use in case
of necessity, but as I must again say with no idea
of being communicated to Ibn ‘jaoud.
4 . The Secretary of State refers to letter
No. 7/2/5 of the 14th May, 195 2 , the Minister for
Foreign Affairs to the Charg4 d'Affaires at Jedda.
The
Excellency,
he High Commisaioner for Trans-Jordan,
