11th April, 1934.
Sir,
I have the honour to inform you that on the
2nd April I spoke to the United States Amhassador
in the sense of the instructions contained in your
j
despatch Ho.12^ of the 22nd March (l. 1839/1206/91) t
relative to the Anglo-Turkish Conventions of 1913 and
1914 regarding boundaries in Eastern Arabia. Mr.Skinner
was most grateful for the ccmmunication which you had
authorized me to make to him. He told me that he had
been unable to obtain a copy of the unratified Convention
of 1913 from the Turkish Government, who had searched
their archives for it in vain, and said that His Majesty's
Government should realize that matters of private
interest, not of State interest, were behind the
inquiries which his Embassy had undertaken, the interest
residing in the concession of an important Petroleum
Company.
2. It was obvious that nsy colleague knew nothing
about the geography of the region in question. I
emphasized the point that what I was showing him was
the south-eastern frontier line of
Turkish Arabia
A term used by the British officials to describe the territory roughly corresponding to, but not coextensive with, modern-day Iraq under the control of the Ottoman Empire.
. His
Sxcellency put no question about what was happening
east of that line, so I did not refer to B1 Ciatar. He
did enquire why the Ottoman GoYernment had not ratified
the 1913 Convention, and on this point I was unable to
enlighten him. I said, however, that as the 1914
_ . -r, w ■ ^ i Convention/
