Mr. Calvert to Sir Samuel Hoare.—{Received December 16.)
(No. 337.)
Sir, ^ j^Tedda, November 26, 1935.
’ WITH reference to my despatch No. 240 of the 30th July, 1934, in which I
transmitted a translation of the Treaty of Taif concluded between Saudi Arabia
and the Yemen, I have the honour to forward herewith the translation of an
announcement, in the Umm-al-Qura of the 22nd November, that in accordance
with article 4 of the treaty, arrangements have now been made for the delimita
tion of the Saudi-Yemen frontier. Two committees or commissions, it will be
seen, have been appointed by the Saudi Arab Government and will work jointly
with similar bodies appointed by the King of the Yemen. It would also appear
that one of these committees has already left for the scene of its labours.
2 . No names have as yet been published here of the numbers of the
commissions, and no information on this subject has, so far, otherwise come to
my notice, but I am instituting enquiries locally.
3. I am sending copies of this despatch and enclosure to the Government of
India, Foreign and Political Department and to Aden.
I have, &c.
A. S. CALVERT.
Enclosure.
Extract from the Umm-al-Qura of November 22, 1935.
Committees for the Delimitation of the Frontiers between the Kingdoms of
Saudi Arabia and the Yemen.
(Translation.)
IN accordance with article 4 of the Taif Treaty, in which the frontiers
between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Yemen have been fixed, and the
provision in the last paragraph of the said article that the delimitation of the
frontiers shall be effected on the ground by a committee formed by the two
Governments, communications have recently passed between His Majesty the
King Abdul Aziz and His Majesty the King Yahya for the appointment of a joint
committee from the two parties for the delimitation of the frontier. Iwo
committees have, in fact, been appointed, one of which joint committees will
undertake to fix the frontiers in the Tihama, and the other to fix the frontiers in
the mountains. The first committee met at Jizan, and left for Musim on
Wednesday, and will start with the delimitation and determination of the
frontier on the basis of the terms of article 4. The second committee will meet
at Dhahan (or Dhihan) for the delimitation of the frontiers in the mountains.
The proceedings of the two committees will be carried out for the settlement of
the matter in the spirit of friendship existing between the two kingdoms. Praise
be to God!
