Poles a very long time to get their money back. Should the deal go through the
question will arise whether the arrangements do not involve preferential treat
ment of the kind referred to in the recent correspondence relative to His
Majesty’s Government’s claims against the Sa’udi Government.

(Received on 3rd March 1934 with Political Secretary’s letter No. 11, \dated-,
the 15th March 1934.)
Enclosure in Foreign Office covering letter dated the 10th March 1934.
Letter from His M.ajesty’s Minister, Jedda, to the Foreign Office, No. i39
(384|124|11), dated the 12th February 1934.
With reference to your telegram No. 16 of February 10th [Serial No. (21)],
and previous correspondence [cf. Serial Nos. (8) and (23)], relative to the pro
ceedings of * Abdul Hamid Bey Shedid, 1 have the honour to state that on the
morning of February 11, I sent a message to the Saudi Minister of Finance,
who had returned to Mecca, saying that 1 had a communication for him which
would be very short but which I should prefer to make orally, if he had other
business in 3 edda. I offered to see him in the evening or any time in the course
of the following two days.
2. Sheykh ‘Abdullah Suleyman would hear of no delay and came to Jedda the
same afternoon. When he called I first explained that it was unusual for His
Majesty’s Government to tender advice in such cases, but that you had autho
rised me to make two statements on the understanding that the Saudi Govern
ment would regard the matter as strictly confidential. I then conveyed to him
the substance of the second sentence of your telegram under reference [Serial
No. (21)], and 3 r our telegram No. 15 of February 7th [Serial No. (19)].
3. In the conversation which ensued I added as from myself that Sheykh
‘Abdullah knew more about Shedid than I did but that in my opinion the
Saudi Government would do well to use great caution. I suggested that they
ought to be able to obtain any further information they needed through the
Saudi Minister in London. Sheykh ‘Abdullah said that he did not think they
need seek any further information in view of what I had told him on behalf of
His Majesty’s Government. He expressed great gratitude.
