Sir,
29th January, 1935,
/
With reference to my despatch No.3 of 6th January,
relative to the recent Saudi legislation on real property
in the Hejaz, I have the honour to forward herewith a
^translation of a communique of 18th January, which the
Saudi Government circulated officially to the foreign missions
here on the same date and which was published in the Umm-al-
Ciura" on 24th January. It purports to interpret the
regulations promulgated last October and is obviously
intended to have a reassuring effect. I believe it to ue
the work of Fuad Bey Hamza, who was away when the regulations
were issued and on his return realised that they were too
drastic. Fuad Bey told me himself on List January that the
communique was one of the fruits of his labours at Riyadh
and claimed that it removed every objection to the
regulations. I hope to discuss the matter more fully with
him when he next comes to Jedda, but in the meantime I think
the position is that he has had to compromise with the authors
of the regulations. The result is not very satisfactory for
the reasons stated in the following paragraphs.
2. sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) of the communique deal
with the acquisition of property by foreigners. The former
reaffirms the principle that, so far as the Hejaz and the
Hejaz only is concerned, foreigners are precluded from
acquiring property. The following sub-paragraph foreshadows
some measure of relief for foreigners, who are Moslems, but
be Right Honourable kcVO .. etc.
Sir John Simon, GCbl.,
