(Received on 3rd March 1934, with Political Secretary’s letter No. 7, dated 15th
February 1934.)
Enclosure in Foreign Office, covering letter, dated 9th February 1934.
Telegram from His Majesty's Minister, Jedda, to the Foreign Office, No. 19,
DATED THE 8tH FEBRUARY 1934.
Your telegram No. 15 [Serial No. (19)].
This reached me this morning.
Last evening Minister of Finance called personally and showed me telegram
from Corporation confirming what Saudi Government had been told by Shadid
and Saudi Minister in London. Telegram stated definitely that Corporation had
been registered and was prepared to send delegates in February to discuss bank
affair and concessions for public works, etc., if Saudi Government were agree
able.
I understood from Minister of Finance that Minister in London had merely
interviewed certain interested parties. Shadid had apparently conveyed to
Minister of Finance impression that persons named in second sentence of my
telegram No. 13 [Serial No. (15)], were actually participating in Coipora-
tion.
I promised to do my best to obtain material for early reply to Fund’s
original questions. I will inform him on February 11th in the sense of telegram
under reply unless above suggests any misinterpretation of yout instructions.
I attach importance to matter both from point of view of Brtiish credit and
general policy of observing sympathetic attitude towards Ibn Sa’ud.
