Sir,
I have the honour to enclose herewith a translation
of a letter received from the Minister for Foreign Affairs of
the Hejaz relating to the Indian Deputation under the
Presidency The name given to each of the three divisions of the territory of the East India Company, and later the British Raj, on the Indian subcontinent. of one Said Habib and calling itself the Khudam ul
Haramain Deputation (servants of Kaaba).
2. The actions of the deputation since their arrival
in the Hejaz have been deplorable and it is not at all
surprising tiiat Bin Saud has at last been forced to take
action.
3. Upon the arrival of this committee in Jeddah they
were invited by Bin Saud to become his guests. This they
indignantly refused stating that they did not recognise him as
ruler of the Hejaz. Whereupon Bin Saud told them that it was
unreasonable on their part to take up a hostile and
antagonistic attitude without first having had an opportunity
of judging the new regime and that with good intentions on
both sides he was sure an agreement could be reached upon all
outstanding questions.
4. The deputation thereupon accepted Bin Saud^
hospitality and soon afterwards proceeded to Mecca.
5. During their stay in Mecca they have maintained
their attitude of open hostility and I am informed by the
Minister for Foreign Affairs that the Government have actual
proof of their efforts to create disturbances and to render
the people dissatisfied with the present regime. To this end
they
Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs,
