The following message should be despatched to
Ihn Saud in continuation of that contained in my telegram No.
35 .
His Majesty's Government still await a reply fro
Your Highness regarding their suggestion that negotiations
should "be opened immediately with a view to the settlement of
all outstanding points "between yourself, Trans-Jordania and
Iraq. In accordance with the decision of His Majesty's
Government communicated to you in their previous message, ex-
-King Hussein has transferred his place of residence from
Akaba to Cyprus, where he is now established. Steps have
also been taken to re-establish the authority of the Trans-
-Jordanian Government in IJaan Viliyet and Akaba. Your
Highness will thus observe that His Majesty's Government have
thus removed every possible ground for the supposition that
territory for which they are responsible is being, or will be,
used as a base for Hejaz operations against Nejd.
In these circumstances there can in the dpinion
o 1 Majesty s Government no longer be any orkrg-fc-satg-Beff obstacle
to the opening of negotiations for a comprehensive settlement
ox outstanding disputes. His Majesty's Government will be
glad to learn that liour Highness is willing to co-operate in
the early initiation of the proposed negotiations, and to
receive any suggestions you may have to offer regarding the
venue and genera] conduct of the discussions. Ends.
