It was a great personal grief and disappointment to him that His Majesty's
Government could not see their way to assist the Hejazi Government with a loan.
His Government might now have no alternative, but to look elsewhere for help.
He wished to be quite frank and not to leave His Majesty's Government under a
false impression.
Sir L. Olifhant here interrupted him to assure him that it was a matter of
great regret to His Majesty's Government also, and that it was of course natural
that the Hejazi Government should try to raise a loan elsewhere; and that His
Majesty's Government would not for a moment misunderstand such action.
Fuad Bey Hamza continued that in connexion with Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan , the Hejazi
Government would wait to hear further from His Majesty's Government. The
proposal for the conclusion of agreements had been made in the interests of the
two countries and not from any personal motives.
As regards the Soviet, he thought it unlikely that there would be any
important change in the attitude of his Government.
At Mr. Rendel's suggestion, Fuad Bey Hamza mentioned the proposal which
he had raised before the meeting that His Majesty's Government should reconsider
their decision as regards the despatch of a Royal Air Force training mission to
the Hejaz and Nejd; but this was to be regarded as a personal suggestion of his
own.
He was assured that the matter would be examined.
The meeting was then concluded.

About this item

Content

The volume contains correspondence and other papers related to the tour by a diplomatic mission from the Kingdom of Hejaz-Najd (including Emir Faisal) to Europe in 1932. The tour included a week-long trip to London in May, where Emir Faisal [Fayṣal] met King George V, and representatives of the Kingdom of Hejaz-Najd met with British officials from the Foreign Office. The main subject of the discussions between officials of both countries was a request from the Kingdom of Hejaz-Najd for financial assistance (in the form of loans) from the British Government. The request was turned down by British officials, in light of the existing economic circumstances (folio 18-23).
