political SITUATION ,
for the month of OCTOBER r 1932.
^kat the Amir has been able to take the part he
did in the Ibn Rafada affair and to come out of it
unscathed, and apparently without any loss of fayour with
His Majesty f 3 Oovernment, has had the effect of
considerably adding to his influence.
This has made the Grovernment afraid that their
period of office may shortly be terminated and has made
them much more ready to stand in with the Amir in anything
he may wish to do, be it sound or not.
The Amir has been planning the new Government
and has even spoken of it to two of the British officials,
but has not gone so far as to propose the change to the
British Resident.
2. It has been previously reported that the Amir
had attempted to send off the members of the Beni Atiya
tribe, who were in Trans-Jordan, to fan the apark of
rebellion in the Hedjaz but that owing to the timely
arrival of the Officer Commanding the Desert p atrol, the
main movement was prevented and only seme 80 persons
crossed the frontier.
In course of time the four leaders of this
party were sentenced in absence to pay a fine of 10 camels
each and to suffer a year f s imprisonment.
Some 40 of the raiders who broke back into
frans-Jordan were caught by the Police and sentenced^ Day
a fine of one camel or undergo three months 1 imprisonment.
