FAHAPHRASil TEiiSGHAIl CorreniBsioner for Iraq
to the Secretary of at&te for the Colonies. Dated 7th Nov.
(Received, Colonial Office, 10.ol p.m. 7th November, 1924).
Addressed Colonial Office No.069. Repeated to Jerusalem
and Jeadah No.256d.
A uelegram has been received by Iraq Frime Minister
from Secretary to Ibn Saud via Bahrein announcing that the
Hedjaz has been saved by Hie Sultan fror*i regime of tyranny.
Message contains an invitation to the Iraq Grovoranent to
send dele gates to Conf ere^ ce of representatives of other
Moslem countries in regard to the future a«iir*inistration oi
that country. A reply had been prepared by jfoisal
criticizing the rudeness of reference to his father’s regime
and informing the Sultan that as the treaty of 1915 clearly
put the latter under Great Britain’s protection, any
attempt which he made to arrange administration of the Hedjaz
I would in effect be establishment of non-Moslem influence in
| tho hedjaz contrary to the precepts of the Koran.
I have persuaded the Kiny to refrain from sending the
foregoing but hate told him that I do not think any ham would
be done if he infomed the Sultan that Iraq would only consent
to send representatives to Conference regarding the future
of the holy plac a on condition that completely unprejudiced
and neutral authority auimnons the conference ““^SSSPr^ 0 *
takes place under the
presidency
The name given to each of the three divisions of the territory of the East India Company, and later the British Raj, on the Indian subcontinent.
of such authority and that,
this condition does not appear at present to be fuliiUod.
The matter is still being considered qy Keisad and the
Iraq Government.
