Your Majesty,
With reference to the proposal put forward by your Majesty
for the inclusion in the treaty of an article providing that His
Britannic Majesty’s Government should take no measures to prevent
the purchase and importation of whatever arms, war material,
ammunition, machines or implements which the Government of the
Hejaz and Nejd may require for their own use, I have the honour to
inform your Majesty that His Britannic Majesty’s Government are
of the opinion that this is a question which need not be dealt with
in the body of the main treaty.
I am. however, empowered by His Britannic Majesty’s Govern
ment to inform your Majesty that the embargo on the export of war
materials to Arabia has been removed, and that, if your Majesty
should see fit to place orders for arms, ammunition and war material
with British manufacturers, in accordance with the conditions set
forth in the Arms Traffic Convention (19251, for the use of the
Government of the Hejaz and Nejd, His Britannic Majesty’s
Government will not prevent the export thereof or place any
obstacle to their importation into your Majesty’s territories.
I shall endeavour, in answer to your Majesty’s desire, to present
your Majesty with a copy of the convention referred to above as
soon as may be.
Respects.
