obtained the money and honours which he was seeking.
He continued to camp in ♦Iraq, but paid frequent
visits to Ibn Sa»ud, from whom he received, I think,
about 200 liras a year, 140 sacks of provisions, and
various gifts of clothing, arms etc. The Dahamshah
as a tribe remained with the remainder of the Amarat.
(4) In 1927» owing to an intensification of the
Mijlad-Hadhdhal dispute, a large portion of the,
tribe camped in Najd, but returned to *Iraq in spring
1928, with the exception of Muhammad ibn Hamdan ibn
Miglad, to whom Ibn Sa*ud has given a village,
cultivation and pay.
Diplomatically, however, these facts did
not help Ibn Sa*ud in arguing with Government, and
he consequently endeavoured to find arguments
supporting his claim. He has stated on various
occasions;
(a) That the Dahamshah have always been Najdis.
Now the Dahamshah form rather more than one half of
the Amarat, and the Muhamraerah Treaty signed by
Ibn Sa*ud, states that the Araarat are ’Iraqis. Surely,
if more than half that tribe had been Najdis, the
acute Ibn Sa’ud would not have signed a bald statement
that the Amarat were Iraqis. But the Muhammerah
Treaty was signed before Jazza’ began his intrigues
with Najd.
(b) That a clause of the uqair protocol referring
to subjects of third Government covers their case,
because Jazza’ was then in Syria, It is true that
Jazza’ camped in Syria in 1920-22 to avoid his favoured
rival Ibn Hadhdhal, but he did not thereby become a,
Syrian
