His Highness The Amir’s Speech in Answer to
Sir John 0adman,
Amman Ceremony - 24th January, 1935,
Gentlemen,
I am very pleased to he present Y/ith you at this
ceremony which is being held for the formal inauguration
of the Pipeline,
We have all heard the eloquent speech delivered
by Sir John 0adman, the Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Iraq Petroleum Company Limited, regarding this
great enterprise which has been accomplished.
Sir John Cadman has explained in detail the
Company’s operations, the material assistance and the
developments resulting therefrom and he has also mentioned
the co-operation of the Government with ?/hich the Company
was able to carry out its difficult operations even in the
vacant areas and the uninhabited desert under conditions
of law and order. He ended in appreciating the mutual
friendship between the Government and the Company from the
Amir’s Palace to the humblest tent in the country. All
that gives the utmost satisfaction,
I feel, hov/ever, that it is my duty not to
forget in an occasion such as this, the good part played
by the people of ny emirate in extending a sincere and
contented hand towards the enlightment of the fatigues of
this great undertaking and making tne task of bringing
it into being less difficult than was expected.
I have the full confidence that the good hand
hitherto extended by Trans-Jordan towards this great
enterprise will continue with the will of God as long as
the good relation exist between the two parties.
