i-f. secretary Montagu's suggestion that the re
duction of ^subsidy to two thousand five hundred
pounds should not take effect until ii/lst
April, if die were convinced that ibn Saud is
adopting a reasonable attitude towards the proposed
meeting with King Hussein. His Lordship is in
some doubt to what extent this is the case, and
prefers to reserve his opinion 'until this point is
clearer.

Department's letter no. E1929/9/44 of the 16th
March on the subject of a proposed subsidy to ibn
Rashid, and to suggest for Mr. Montagu's considera

Saud beyond those already sanctioned by His Majestyfe
Treasury should be charged not to imperial Funds
but to Mesopotamian revenues.
His Lordship would be glad to be favoured
