With reference to my despatch No. 206 of the 20th December, 1935, I have
the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a despatch* No. C 373 of the
18th February, which I have received from the Resident at Aden, and with
which is enclosed a translation, from the Arabic of the Yemeni newspaper the
Iman, of the Yomen-Ethiopia Treaty of the 22nd March, 1935, ratifications of
which were exchanged on the 21st September, 1935. I forward the translation
as received, with the exception of the Ethiopian names, the spelling of which I
have taken the liberty to change to accord with custom.
2. The Ethiopian Minister for Foreign Affairs promised me the Amharic
text of the treaty in January last, but, owing to pressure of wmrk r His Excellency
has so far failed to produce it. I will, however, remind him of his promise at
an early date.
3. The question of whether a grant of extra-territorial Jurisdiction is or is
not implied under the most-favoured-nation clause in article 3 may one day arise
but is not of immediate importance under present conditions.
4. I am sending- a copy of this despatch to His Majesty’s Minister at Jedda.
