A PROPOSAL K)H AH AIR VISIT Tp
im BAUD AT HIS CAPITAL .
'ilie Bubsidy to I^bn Baud is coming to an end
just at a time when his policy seems to clash with British
policy in a number of ways, and His Britannic Majesty’s
Government are undoubtedly much concerned at the present
much
time to find some alternative an&^cheaper means of
influencing him.
He has differences with Eedjaz, Trans-Jordania
and Iraq and his policy conflicts both with our own Imper-
-i&l policy as respects Arabia generally and with our
policy as mandatory in Iraq. when the time comes
for the British Goverment to withdraw from Iraq and for
Faisal and his Government to stand on their own it will
be more than ever necessary to be able to control him or
influence him. Ibn Baud’s aspirations towards Mecca,
again, cannot be ignored by us as a Mohammedan power.
"he only means of influencing him which are
being considered at present are simple diplomatic pressure
and in the last resort Stoppage of supplies fro® Iraq.
The former must come to an end at no distant date because
it has at present no ultima ! "e visible backing of ioice.
f The latter will be worthless once we leave Iraq. he
best way on every conceivable count of maintaining an
Influence over Ibn Baud is through the air arm, and this
does not y*y as yet wee® to have been considered bv che
authorities concerned.
Two proposals are therefore submitted:-
(1) That the feasibility so far as service consider-
-ations are concerned of attacking Ibn Saud from
the air, if it should ever be necessary to take
arms against him, should be suggested to the Air
Ministry for the information of the Foreign and
Colonial
