of Muscat's desire to employ iirab refugees on certain
posts.
We now enclose herewith a copy of a letter from
the Colonial Office, and enclosure, which is self-
explanatory. We should be grateful if you would arrange
for action to be taken on the lines suggested in this
letter through whatever channels you think best.
Meanwhile we have already asked the Chanceries at
Cairo, Amman, Beirut, Damascus, and Baghdad, the Consulat

prefer that you should approach the Hi 0 h Commissioner
