If gist of paragraph five of Foreign Office telegram 636 of 9/12 to Baghdad were passed to Ibn Saud now he would be in better position to appreciate His Majesty's Government's policy in respect of Iraq Government. Rashid Ali's efforts to retain his support would be neutralised, and Ibn Saud's influence would probably be exerted in our favour should more drastic action prove necessary in Iraq.
