Sir A . Ryan to Fuad Bey Hamza.
(Personal and Confidential.)
Dear Fuad Bey, Jedda, March
YOUR Excellency lias on many occasions during the last few months made
communications to Mr. Hope Gill and myself regarding activities 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
and elsewhere directed against the maintenance of the authority of His Majesty
King Abdul Aziz in this country. We have had frequent conversations on the
subject, in which I have emphasised two things, viz. :—
{a) The strong desire of His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom
to repress such activities in territories which they control or in which
they can use influence; and
(&) My personal conviction, which I believe to be shared by my Government,
that, so far as
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
is concerned, nothing will do so much to
discourage such activities as the completion of the negotiations for a
general political settlement on which we are now engaged.
As I told you in our last conversation on the subject on the 4th March, I
devoted much personal attention to this matter during my recent journey to Cairo,
Jerusalem and Amman. I am now authorised to give you a general statement
under three heads regarding the action taken :—
1.
Activities of the Dahhagh Family and their Associates.
The enquiries made by the British authorities regarding the facts brought to
their notice at various dates last year left no doubt that a number of persons,
mostly of Hejazi origin, were engaged in a conspiracy against the present regime
in this country. Immediate action was taken to prevent them from using as a
base Aden, the first place in which their activities came to light. When it was
discovered that the persons concerned were active elsewhere, further measures
were taken to counteract their efforts. These measures culminated in the decision
taken in the latter part of last year to exclude from
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
and Palestine
