Fuad Bey Hamza to Mr. Calvert
(Translation) Mecca, November 17, 1935.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your note of the 16th November,
1935 (the 19th Shaban, 1354), of which the text is as follows: —
" With reference to the note which we have exchanged to-day regarding the
future treatment of goods imported into or exported from Saudi Arabia by way
of Bahrein, I am instructed by His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs to refer to the discussion which took place at the conference in Bahrein
in March and April of this year regarding the procedure followed by the
authorities at Bahrein in the case of the steamship Ahmedi, when she called at
Bahrein in November 1932. I am authorised to assure your Royal Highness, on
behalf of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom and the Government
of Bahrein, that the authorities in Bahrein will not at any future time claim any
duties whatsoever on goods shipped to or from ports in Saudi Arabia in ships
calling at Bahrein when the goods in question are intended to be taken direct to
their destination in the ships carrying them and not to be landed at Bahrein for
re-export or trans-shipped without being landed. The permanent validity of this
assurance will not be affected by any notification which may be made in accordance
with the paragraph numbered 7 in my note of to-day."
I am glad to inform you that my Government have taken note of the above-
mentioned undertaking of the British Government, for which I thank you.
