the Bahra Treaty. Frequent changes in treaties already concluded
he said, would create an atmosphere of instability. Mr. Cornwallis
then inquired whether the Najd Government still required the
extradition of subjects of one Government who had committed a
crime m the territory of the other. Dr. Damluji replied that the
inclusion of such incidents was essential. A draft Extradition
Agreement was then handed by the 'Iraq delegates to the Naid
delegates. The latter requested postponement of a detailed discus
sion of the draft until they had had time to study it. Shaikh Fuad
inquired whether attempts on the lives of the sovereigns of either
Government would be regarded as political offences. The 'Iraq
delegates replied that it might be possible to exclude them from that
ca egory. ] aikh Fuad then asked whether a conspiracy against
the existing form of Government would be classed as a political crime.
A prolonged discussion ensued as to the definition of a conspiracy
and of a political offence, without reaching any conclusion.
