^ajd belt gates: •Jo will not atree to it.
President:
I suggest that we make a temporary boundary and
form a neutral zone between the two states. This is of my own
suggestion and not that of my Government.
The boundaries oi this neutral zone to be from Jab&l
’.naizah to af and from Jatal * 'naizah to Jnul. I'rsm K f to
the hill twenty five miles east of V. .di ar-Ratein, which is a
Railway station^ on the Kijaz line,and from this .oint the lint
runs parallel to the railway line at a distance of twenty xxuuc
five miles from Mad&ln Salih i.e. u;.. to Jabal Girhan Gar’an
and Bir al Jul&imat from where it runt north east up to the
tf&fud 16 miles of 'iairaah, then to Br.trah nd then iollows the
Kalud up to Ta’us an- Ha’jah and then to J .uf. This to be a
neutral zone ior a period of six months during which period
neither of the two GovernmcntSof tfajd and Trans Jordania will
be responsible icr what takes place in it oetween the
tribes living there,and the Rulers of both bajd and Trans-
Jordania undert ke not to send troops or raiders to this
neutral zone nor to help those who wish to raid from amongst
their tribes,and a warnir to oe issued that it is dangerout
to enter it.
