The Trans-Jordanian Delegation's View.
(As In the English minutes of the Seventeenth Session).
The Hajd Delegation's Reply.
'We have said what we think In the past - and It Is a xta
view based on justloe snd equity. It seems that the Govern
ment of Trans-Jordanla, which Is unwilling to speak about
Hijas, is now talking In the name of all Arabs f and we are
unaware who gave her this right. We do not merely refuse
Trans-Jordtuiia's olaim, but we protect against this Inter
ference which Is contrary to international right and legal
custom, nnd we maintain that these demands are only put
forward to complicate the efforts which are being put made in
the way of peace. '
"lihen the two parties reached this stage, the meeting
mp, and who delegations left for their respective
countries.'

Prom the above it oan be seen what the Sultanate of Hajd
