i.Lilli CfiAIiLi'/iAN said that the meeting had been summoned
at the instance of tne i- ; 'oreign Office^ which wished to
review the situation m the light of possible developments,
ile did not chink it necessary to summarise the papers
which had been circulated; but he drew attention to a
telegram from SIR A 0 RIAN at Jedda 9 Ho e 69 of the 8 th June,
19oS, (circulated with Paper M.E a (0) 62) reporting in
formation received from the Hejaz Nejd Government to the
effect that Ibn Rifada had gone to see the Amir Abdullah
in Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan . The Colonial Office had telegraphed to
the High Commissioner for Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan to ensure the detention
of Ibn Rifada, if he should enter Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan .
MR* RENDEL stated that the Foreign Office wished to
consider the probable action by His Majesty’s Government
in vie?f of future developmentso Our hitherto friendly
relations with the Hejaz had been confirmed on the
occasion of the recent visit of an official mission
from the Hejaz Nejd Government, headed by Ibn Saud’s son,
to London, and the situation that had arisen placed
His Majesty’s Government in a very awkward position.
He stated that His Majesty’s Government had a definite
obligation under the mandate to control the foreign
relations of the Amir Abdullah. Hostile incursions
into He.jaz territory from or thro ugh Trans Jordan country
had taken place and, in the Foreign Office view, His
Majesty’s Government were, to some extent, responsible.
The revolt, started by the incursion of Ibn Rifada,
might very well bring on a very serious situation and
there were reasons to suspect that the Amir Abdullah was,
to a certain extent, responsible for this incursion.
Should this premise prove correct, the obligation of His
Majesty’s Government to remedy the situation and prevent
any assistance, open and otherwise, from being gi/on to
Ibn Baud’s enemies was all the greater. He noted from
SIR AJtTHUR WAUCHOPE’S telegram Ho. 43 of the 7th June
