Emir Abdullah, the second son of Hussein and
Emir of Trans-vordan, is generally considered at
present as the head of the Hashemi te house, since
seniority rather than the principles of primogeniture
are usually followed in Arab families. He has ambitions
to be King of a greater Syria, including Syria, Palestine,
Trans-Jordan and perhaps the Lebanon. The Regent,
although showing proper veneration for his uncle, is

not giving much support to his uncle'e ambitions since
he feels that they are unrealizable and since he knows
that his Iragi subjects would resent his participating
in a movement primarily for the benefit of the Hashemi1 te
family and not particularly for the benefit of Iraq.
Mutual suspicion and distrust exist between the
Hashemite family and that of Ibn Saud. The Hashemite
family have not forgotten that Ibn Saud drove them from
the Hejaz, and Ibn Saud suspects that the Hashemites hope
some time again to rule the Hejaz. The two families
are also extremely jealous of each other. Abdullah
and the Regent, for instance, were decply hurt when
Churchill and President Roosevelt recently visited Ibn
Saud while in the Near East and failed to see any member
of the Hashemite family. Several of the sons of Ibn
Saud visited the United States in 1943 and are now in
San Francisco. The present visit of the Regent to the
United States evens the score so far as the United States
is
