<1o^
He is evidently considering the advisability of
associating himself with the struggle in the role of raediator f
but before committing himself to any definite policy, he is
anxious to sound His Majesty’s Government for an indication as
to the degree to which they are prepared to accede to the Aral
requests.
It is possible that, if he can satisfy himself that
there is a likelihood of these requests receiving favourable
consideration, he will advise the insurgents to submit to the
British demand for the complete restoration of law and order
before the appointment of a Royal Commission to enquire into
the alleged grievances of the Arabs.
The king realises that the two essential points
which must form the minimum basis of negotiation are
(i) The Control of the Jewish immigration.
(ii) A more equitable partition of the land.
While obviously desirous of putting an end to this
unprofitable and unfortunate struggle, the King wishes to
avoid the danger of pressing the Arab cause to the extent of
jeopardising the amicable relations which exist between
Great Britain and £audi-Arabia.

Iraqis as a nation lies with their racial brothers in
Palestine. However, as all forms of demonstrations are
banned by the Government, there is little chance of the ex
tremists stirring up anti-British or anti-Jewish demonstrations
The Jewish community, nevertheless, take good cure
to keep on the right side of their Moslem neighbour by
contributing to the Palestine Relief Fund when called upoiyto

I.D.6109 have been remitted to Palestine.
