Heading 2. I have demurred to suggestions. Special
officers should have the right to attend meetings by proxy
except in case of officers acting for them in their post.

send subordinates to represent them at periodical meetings.
There is some chance of governors or acting governors

position as regards Transjordanian special officers. Indeed
having regard to importance of meetings I should personally
see advantage in appointing both officer commanding Arab
legion and officer commanding desert patrol or persons acting
