I have the honour to iefer to the Secretary of
State’s -Secret" despatch of the 19th of November slip
No. 1786/30 dated 27th of Noveiiber, 1930. In Was despatch,
Sir S. Davis’s “Secret- despatch of the 14th of August is
referred to more than once consequently unaware of its
contents.
2 ' i8 Your Excellency is ware, the scheme formu
lated by Captain Glubb differs f com the foraier proposals
which are referred to in the Secretary of State’s despatch
under reference. Captain Glubb’ 3 scheme was sutotted to
Your Excellency under my letter Jo.3514 of the 19th
November but it has since become apparent that, although
the scheme has not been altered, the estimates of capital
expenditure require some alteration in view of information
which is now available regarding the cost of cars and
armament and the preparation of retailed estimates by the
Public Works Department for the cost of constructing the
cwo Desert Posts. I enclose a r< vised estimate for
capital expenditure which is sell-explanatory. Your
Excellency will observe that the provision for the purchase
of ccanals has been deleted as I am now of the opinion that
tne men enlisted should provide their own animals as is the
practice in the Arab Legion at present. The location
