Q. But the Government of His Majesty Abdul Aziz has inherited the
Hejaz Kingdom!
A. If we had inherited that, we should have inherited also some other
things which are not in our interest. So is it better not to have inherited
anything.
Q. Then is it not the intention of the Government of His Majesty to
enter the League of Nations ?
A - It is possible that this question is now under discussion.
Q. What about the negotiations concerning the Hejaz Railway?
A. Negotiations on that subject are taking place between the Arabian,
French and English Governments. Probably a conference will be held
shortly to take a final decision about this railway.
Q. Is it not to the interest of Hejaz, Syria and the Moslem world to
have the line between Maan and Medina repaired and put into action, and
leave other questions to be discussed later ?
A. Among other questions considered during the negotiations, which
took place a long time ago, was the repairing of the line between Maan and
Medina. One of the subjects to be discussed by the conference is the way
for securing the necessary funds for repairing this part of the line.

Letter from the British Legation, Jedda, to the Foreign Office,
No. 2905/26/82, dated the 2nd November 1934.
Please refer to our despatch No. 314 (2780/5/43), [Serial No. (99)],
regarding the incident at Thaniya Tarais.
We regret that a copy of the note from the Saudi Minister for Foreign
Affairs (No. 5/2/60 of October 2nd), was not sent to you at the time. It
was submerged in the subsequent spate of telegrams. A copy is now
attached, with our apologies,

Letter from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to H. M’s.
Charge d’affaires, Jedda, No. 5/2/60, dated the 23rd, Jusmad ath
Thani 1353 (2nd October 1934.).
I inform you that the authorities concerned in the northern frontiers of
the Government of H. M. the King have a week ago noticed the presence of
two aeroplanes of the British Air Force at Thaniya Tarif, north of and one
“Marhala” (a day’s journey) distant from Fajr. They have also seen six
of the armed soldiers of the Camel Corps of the
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
frontier forces.
Your honour is not unaware of the fact that the above mentioned place
lies within the frontiers of the territories of the Government of H. M. the
King and that the presence of aeroplanes and armed forces therein must be
regarded as a transgression and violation of the rights of the territories
belonging to His Majesty.
I am therefore directed to express strong regret at such aggression
and to lodge the protect of the Government of H. M, officially for such
manifest aggression against their territories. I await adequate satisfaction
for this incident and (hope) to learn of the measures which will be taken to
avoid its recurrence. j j : .
