Eashid is surrounded by tribes hostile to him in the neighbourhood of Janf and has
urgently summoned his retainers to extricate him. Under these circumstances it
appears unlikely that he will he able to fulfil his engagement on this side.
(17106/M E/44 a)
Sir, Foreign Office, January 24, 1920.
I am directed by Earl Curzon of Kedleston to acknowledge receipt of your letter
No. P. 8354 of the 15th January on the subject of the proposed list of the autonomous
rulers of Arabia. Including those now suggested by the Civil Commissioner, Bagdad,
the list comprises the following :—
King Hussein.
The Idrisi.
The Imam.
The Sultan of Mokalla.
Muscat.
Bahrein.
Koweit.
Mohammerah.
Trucial Chiefs.
Ibn Saud.
Ibn Eashid.
The only important element which is not included in this list is the tribe of the
Anazeh, and Lord Curzon suggests that, in the event of any of the other autonomous
rulers enquiring as to the policy of His Majesty’s Government with regard to the
Anazeh, the reply should be that the matter is under consideration, but that, in default
of sucli enquiry, the tribe should not be mentioned, and he would be glad to know
whether Mr. Montagu concurs in this view.
I am, &c.
The Under-Secretary of State,
India Office
The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.

(P. 678.)
Sir,
India Office
The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.
, February 20, 1920.
In reply to your letter No. 171076/ME/44a, dated the 24th January, on the
subject of the proposed list of the autonomous rulers of Arabia, I am directed by the
Secretary of State for India to say that he is not altogether clear how the scheme
outlined in the telegram to General Allenby, No. 642 of the 24th May last, could be
applied to a group of nomad tribes without any single recognised head like the Anazeh
(see “ Handbook of Arabia,” vol. 1, pp. 45-53), and he feels some doubt also whether, if
the Anazeh were brought within the scope of the scheme, the same procedure should not
be extended to other nomad tribes or groups of tribes.
He sees no objection, however, to the suggestion made in your letter, and has
informed the Civil Commissioner Bagdad, accordingly in the telegram of which a copy is
enclosed.
I am, &c.
J. E. SHUCKBUEGH.
The Under-Secretary of State, Foreign Office.
Copy of enclosed Telegram.
Telegram from Secretary of State to Civd Commissioner, Mesopotamia,
dated February 19, 1920.
Your telegram dated 15th December, 15123.
Additions to list of autonomous rulers approved. It has been suggested that
question may arise also as to Auazeh. If Ibn Eashid should enquire as to the policy of
His Majesty s Government with regard to Anazeh, reply should be that matter is under
consideration. If he does not enquire, tribe should not be mentioned.
