of the inquiry hy the United States Government and the reply
which had been returned.
78. There has "been no development of importance in connexion
with Ihn Sa’ud's other frontiers. It may he noted, however,
tnat one of the more notable visitors to the Kejaz for the
pilgrimage was Fawaz ibn Sha'lan, grandson of and prospective
successor to the famous Nuri of that ilk. It appears that he
sat on the King’s left at the pilgrimage banquet on March 22
(See para.50 of the last Report). It has been stated in the
foreign Arabic press that his tribe, the Ruwalla and other
Syrian tribes have premised support to Ibn Sa’ud’^ on the
northern side.
79. (Ref.para. 52). Ibn Sa’ud has, however, manifested
continued perturbation over the alleged machinations of plotters
in adjoining countries. On April 10 Slieykh Yusuf Ydsin brought
a message from him to Gir A'iarev Ryan to the effect that he
believed intrigues to be proceeding between King Ghazi, the
Amir ’Abdullah, other Sn orifs, and the Amir Shakir to foment
insurrection in Saudi Arabia, to which Sir Andrew Ryan was able
to return a generally reassuring reply to Fuad Bey Hamza on April
21; the latter on that occasion produced a further story of
activities on the part of a son of Hamid ibn Rifada near ’Aqaba,
about which enquiries were still proceeding at the end of the
month.
III. RELATIONS with POWERS outside ARABIA.
80. Excellent relations have continued to prevail between
the British Legation and the Saudi Government. The question
of the Indian Government dispensary has been discussed several
times and with some vigour, as Sheykh Yusuf Yasin rejected
outright the possible settlement mentioned in para.53 of the
last Report. A conversation with Fuad Bey Hamza on April 30
gave more promise of an eventual solution.
About this item
- Content
The file contains intelligence reports on the Kingdom of Hejaz, Najd and its Dependencies (after September 1932, Saudi Arabia) written by the British Legation at Jeddah.
Between July 1931 and December 1932 the reports are issued every two months, with the exception of the January-March 1932 and April 1932 reports. From January 1933 the reports are sent on a monthly basis.
Between July 1931 and December 1932, each report is divided into sections, numbered with Roman numerals from I to IX, as follows: Internal Affairs; Frontier Questions; Relations with States outside Arabia; Air Matters; Military Matters; Naval Matters; Pilgrimage; Slavery; and Miscellaneous. Each section is then further divided into parts relating to a particular matter or place, under a sub-heading. Some reports contain an annex.
From January 1933, when the reports become monthly, they take a new format. Each is divided into sections, as follows: Internal Affairs; Frontier Questions and Foreign Relations in Arabia; Relations with Powers Outside Arabia; Miscellaneous (often containing information on slavery and the pilgrimage).
