persons who have been suffered in +h 0
j-iLrea m the past to acquire
ownership of land in the Hejaz, but as pointed out in
paragraph 3 of mjr despatch No. 446 of the 11th Deoember, 1934,
it would presumably be open to the Saudi Government to maintain
that such ownership was contrary to the law as reaffirmed in
article 4 of the regulations. At the same time their
contention would surely be weakened by the fact that "preTious
Governments" in the form of the Ottoman and Hashimite regimes

are clearly under no obligation to observe its provisions.
The most that could be done on behalf of this class of person
would be to insist on their obtaining a fair and reasonable
opportunity to dispose of their land, such as the regulations
themselves appear to allow. It now seems possible, however,

from paragraph 3 of the translation of the Saudi communique
enclosed in your despatch No, 26 that these persons will be
allowed to retain their properties indefinitely, subject to the
tax imposed by article 11 of the regulations.
