Enclosure in No. 1.
Acting Saudi Minister for Foreign Affairs to Sir A. Ryan.
Mecca, Muharram 29, 1353 (May 13, 1934).
(Translation.)
Your Excellency,
(After Compliments.)
» * HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your Excellency’s note No. 65
of the 28th April 1934 (14th Muharram, 1353), which you addressed to me in
accordance with the instructions of your Government, with its enclosures, the two
Anglo-lurkish conventions concluded on the 29th July, 1913, and the 9th March,
4, legal ding the specification of certain boundaries of areas and territories in
eastern Arabia.
Your Excellency is not aware of the great difference between the position at
the time of the signature of the two conventions mentioned above and the position
which came after and of the great developments which have taken place in Arabia
itself and which led to the alteration of the frontier line laid down in the conven
tion of the 29th July, 1913, between the dominions of His Majesty the King and
Koweit. There is no doubt that the same developments (besides the considerations
of which I had an opportunity of mentioning some to your Excellency during our
ii lendly conversation of Wednesday last, the 3rd May) put the Government of
His Majesty the King in a position of being compelled to state their inability to
consider the frontier line specified in the two above conventions as actually
constituting the correct line of their frontier with the neighbouring territories
in the east and south of Arabia. With this reservation, therefore, they declare
their readiness to (enter into) discussion at any time desired with a view to
defining the frontiers in a manner which shall be in consonance with the actual
conditions and which shall secure for this country and for all the neighbouring
Arab territories the essential interests of each in a practical way.
With highest respects,
FUAD HEMZA,
A ding Minister for Foreign A ffairs.
