entry into the Yemen. Philby had no authorisation from Saudi Arabian
Government express or implied to go outside borders of Saudi Arabia.

3. On a map which is a duplicate one given Fuad for frontier dis
cussions I showed Fuad that Shabwa was far south of Ibn Saud’s territory
even if his extreme claims were conceded. Fuad did not deny Shabwa
was in Aden protectorate.
4. Reply did not contain apology but I concluded that is because it
would not fit in with rejection of all responsibility on (sic) Philby.
5. I gather that on his return Philby would be called upon by Ibn Saud
to explain his conduct. You may wish me to inform Minister for Foreign
Affairs that while the extraordinary occurrence is now understood His
Majesty’s Government trust person whose irresponsible conduct might have
caused serious incident harmful to the good relations between the two govern
ments, will be suitably dealt with.
Addressed to Foreign Office, No. 122, repeated to Aden No. 8.
Telegram from the Foreign Office, to Sir R. Bullard, British Lega
tion, Jedda, No. 135, dated the 5th December, 1936.
Your telegram No. 122 [of December 3rd; Mr. Philby’s activities in
Aden Protectorate and the Yemen].
I approve your action, and proposal contained in final paragraph.
For reasons given in your despatch No. 289 [of October 25th] (Serial
No. 88), in which I concur, I do not wish to labour matter, but you should
consider whether to include in any further communication written or oral
to Saudi authorities protest against fact that Mr. Philby was accompanied
on his incursion into Aden Protectorate by armed Saudi forces which
might well have led Protectorate tribes to assume that he w T as travelling
on a Saudi mission. Object would be to show Saudi Government that His
Majesty’s Government are maintaining their position regarding Protectorate
frontier and do not acquiesce in any Saudi encroachment in this area. But
what you have said may be sufficient, and I am content to leave decision to
you.
please report in due course any explanations which Mr. Philby may
furnish.
Addressed to Jedda, No. 135, repeated to Aden, No. 108.
