I beg to state that having received a telegram from
jrHls Excellency the High Commissioner for Iraq through lir.
• , Bui lard, the British Agent at Jeddah, I have sent ray reply
thereto through the came medium : it must have reached Your
Honour "by now and you have come to know of its contents and
wired the same to His r,:-:cellency the Higl Commissioner for Iraq.
The following however is the te^ct of it :~
I have no knowledge at all of the occurrences taken
tblace on the Iraq frontier. I have sent a message to ray
£
irihes to stop them in their raids on the iraq frontiers, and
f ^tave no doubt that full de tails of the occurences will reach me

yl I have often represented to His ri tannic mjesty 's
|hovernment in their capacity as Mandatory Government over Iraq
blbout I jd ' s criminal tribesmen taking refuge in Iraq territory
and with the Iraq tribes living thereabout, but they did not
pettle the question of these tribes' encroachments, and they
■ere, therefore, Committing their deeds of plundering, robbing
(pnd raiding, and after having done these they used to reside in
Iraq territory. X have no doubt that what has taken place

If repeated encroachments u^on them,

othing will settle these disputes but the ratification
of special agreements for preventing raids,and surrender of
tribal criminals as was proposed by my representatives at the
Kuwait Conference. X am still prepared to conclude special
agreements with the Iraq Government of His Britannic Majesty^
Government in their capacity as .andatory Government for the
purpose of establishing safety on the frontiers/ of the two
countries, Nejd and Iraq and for the stemming up of raids by
the tribes of the two countries.

About this item
- Content
The volume contains letters, telegrams, and memoranda relating to affairs between the British Mandate of Iraq and The Kingdom of Najd and the Hejaz, ruled by Ibn Sa'ud. Most of the correspondence is between the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in Bushire, the Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, the High Commissioner in Baghdad, the Colonial Office in London, the Government of India, Ibn Sa'ud himself and his delegates.
The majority of the volume is concerned with cross-border raids and counter raids between Iraq and Najd and efforts to put a stop to them. With the British attempting to mediate, the raids were carried out by the Ikhwan and tribal groups in Iraqi and Kuwaiti territory, including sections of the 'Ajman, Mutayr, Shammar, Awazim, 'Utaibah, Harb, and Dahamshah tribes. The documents reflect the divergent opinions among British officials on what British policy should be in the region as well as the inadequacies of the borders as they were defined. The volume ends with efforts to set up a tribunal to settle claims of compensation between the two governments as stipulated in the Bahra Agreement.
