Hollowing is summary of instructions
following by despatch:
In theory His Majesty’s Government cannot
question any decision which two Governments may reach with
regard to tiieir common frontier including termination
points, provided result does not infringe their interests.
But in practice no termination point can be settled
satisfactorily without co-operation of three countries.
2. They are therefore anxious that no final
decision should be taken about these points unless
they have first expressed their views. They are
considering, unwillingness to have to accept decision of
Egyptian President, no matter what it may be.
3. As regards 7estern termination question
is not to be as Iraqi note claimed to fix intersection
of two co-ordinates but to find termination point of
Daudi - Iraqi frontier. This lies, in view of
His Majesty’s Government, at summit of Jebel Anaza, as has
already been explained to Iraqi Government.
*
4. \s regardS/^eastem termination point
Caudi-Iraoi and ICuwait-lraqi frontier are both said to start
at junction of Tadi Al Aujah with Al Batin. Provided
therefore that this point is clear on grounds there
should be no difficulty.
