Yasin concurred and said that the word translated "may be
granted rT could only apply to a grant at the instance of the
person concerned,
8. Sheihh Yussuf Yasin explained that they could not
meet us over Article 6 for the reasons previously given
and recorded by Mr.Bird in paragraph 3 of his despatch no.
102 of June 29th 1928. I share Mr.Bird T s view that the
retention of the words "in the past" need not disturb us
seriously. I suggested to Sheikh Yussuf Yasin that special
cases miglit arise, e.g. the case of Palestinians, but I do

nationalities to former Ottoman subjects as a result of the
breaking up of the Ottoman Empire and the Treaty of
Lausanne e.g. a person of Palestinian origin in this country

subject. I have not studied this subject. I understood the
oheikh to say that the Hejazi Government were not disposed to
contest Palestinian and Trans-Jordan nationalities and this is
more or less confirmed by what my French colleague told me about
Syrians in the conversation recorded in my despatch Eo.5 of
January 6th.
9. Sheikh Yussuf Yasin said that it was proposed to
meet us over Article 10 by amending it so as to provide that
residents in the Hejaz would be considered Hejazis as from
the date of the 1926 law unless they could prove a foreign
'
nationality. I argued this closely as it is the most
important point of all. He admitted that it was not a
question of expecting all foreigners to submit proof of their
nationality as soon as the new law was promulgated. He
recognized that the proof mi^it be tendered whenever the
question arose but said it must be proof that the person had
had the foreign nationality on September 29th, 1926. I admitted
that/
