under Bin 8aud e whose successors may he of very different
calibre 0 and are therefore against perpetual treaty of
friendship as proposed in draft treaty with Hussein and also
against any semblance of dynastic guaranteea aa contemplated
in the 1915 Agreementc In our view. Treaty should be
personal to Bln Saud and for a limited number of years,
subject to renewal* This would enable us to revise end
