him to take no action. The California Arabian Standard Oil Company,
it is believed, have asked their principals for instructions. It is inevitable
that in the end all companies concerned will accept the regulation without
protest. It is inevitable that this poverty-striken country should try to

relations have considerable weight with Ibn Saud, as with Arabs in general,
