Draft Note to French Ambassador. | »/ .*
Your Excellency,
Wiuh reference to Monsieur de Fleuriau’s pri
vate letter to Sir A, Nicolson of the 6th instant,
relative to the proposed understanding between the
Allies and Djemal
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
, which, it was suggested,
might be undertaken by His Majesty*s Government,
I have the honour to state that the negotiations
which are at present proceeding between His Majes
ty’s Government and the Sheriff of Mecca render
it impossible for the former to take up this
question, and that I do not, therefore, propose
to proceed any further in the matter.
A ^73. kt* hi™ iM C (fcijA £&% >r ' f.j JnJ:
if, however, Your Excellency's Government
consider it desirable to open negotiations with
Djemal
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
, I would suggest that, in view of the
many French interests in Syria, interests which, as
Your Excellency is aware, have already placed a
limitation on the negotiations now being conducted
with the Afabs, it would be preferable that the
French Government should themselves undertake the
conduct of the negotiations with Djemal
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
, and
keep His Majesty's Government informed from time
to time of the results achieved.
Your Excellency's Government will, moreover,
be in a better position to impress on Djemal
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
the importance of a preliminary arrangement with
the Arabs, which would appear to be, as the French
Government doubtless realize, the first essential
of success.
I have the honour etc.
His Excellency
Monsieur
Paul Gambon.
