III
The second suggestion is one for execution next
spring hy this command and requires elaboration.
The idea is that a political visit, entirely
friendly and complimentary and without any embarrassing or
difficult differences to discuss, should be conveyed by
air to Ibn Baud in his capital at Riyadh.
Tentatively the composition of the Mission might
be
(l) A representative of His Excellency the High
Commissioner for Iraq.
(ii) The British Agent at Bahrain.
Bote - Which of these should hatre charge of the
Mission involves diplomatic considerations which
need not be weighed here.
e
(ill) A fluent Arabic speaking officer as representativi
of the Air Officer Commanding.
(iv) Possibly a British representative of the Iraq
Government, though this again involves consider-
-ation of the exact complexion which it might be
most desirable to give to the Mission.
(v) Wireless operator.
The conveyance of this visit by air might be
expected to achieve the following results:
Ibn Baud is a shrewd and able man, and would be
quick to realise from the friendly presence of
these aircraft that they might also visit his
capital on another occasion with a less welcome
load, and at a few hours notice.
He has not yet contemplated the possibility that
he could be reached at all, and it would incline
him to listen with more immediate respect to our
advice.
