Your telegrams Nos. 20, 21 and 22.
In the absence of reference I am uncertain whether
you had received my telegram No.24 and my despatch No.
25 before despatching telegrams under reference.
In view of more favourable turn taken !y discussions
here I fear any attempt to force the pace to the extent
contemplated in your instructions may do more harm than
good. I venture to draw attention to the following
considerations;
(a) hejaz Government took prompt action regarding
raid' of September 17th and eighty odd camels were
restored, remainder being claimed as property of Nejdis.
I understand this was the same raid regarding which
resident Amman expressed satisfaction in report to High
Commission of September 30th. In subsequent report of
November 5th he stated that balance of one hundred and
seventeen camels was still outstanding but I have not
yet received detailed criticism of statements in Minister
for Foreign Affairs 1 note enclosed in my despatch No.289.
(b) Analy sis of prot e st s show Ira.ns j ordanl ans
complained of four raids including above as having occur
