Please refer to yoj^ telegram iMo.1304 dated 3rd June.
There is little^ comment I can add to the facts given
in my telegram No.454''iated 6 th June. I am told that ’Izzat
Jaffar, His Highness* "Social Secretary" takes sides in the
disputes amongst the Egyptian teachers. He has, of course,
His Highness* ear, is a supporter of Abdul Moneim's and trying
to persuade His Highness not to get rid of him. This, I
believe, is the reason why the Sheikh put me off twice (by
saying he had not read Takelirfe reportJ when I raised the
question of his getting rid of Abdul Moneim. I shall ask
Jackson to press it. As a "test case" as to whether Takelin’s
advice is to be accepted (apart from it*s intrinsic importance)
it will be necessary to insist on Abdul Honeim*s services
being dispensed with.
