who is in charge of the pilgrimage. I am therefore hopeful that any diffi
culties which the Legation experienced in this respect during the last season
or two were personal to the late Vice-Consul and vanished with his depar
ture, and at present I do not fear that under cover of the present regulation
the difficulties will begin again..
4 I am sending copies of this despatch and enclosure to His Majesty’s
Ambassadors at Cairo (No. 125/551/6), and Bagdad (No. 127/551/6), and
to His Excellency the High Commissioner for Palestine and Trans-Jordan
(No. 126/551/6).
Enclosure to Jedda despatch No. 8 (124/551/6) of January 17th, 1938.
No. 101/18/4.
Translation.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Mecca,
9th HhuT Qaa’da 1356.
10th January, 1938.
Circular.
I have the honour to explain to Their Excellencies the Ministers Pleni
potentiaries and the Charges d’Affaires, that the Government of His
Majesty the King, being desirous of facilitating the work of the Legations
at Jedda had previously adopted a number of measures in order to enable
them to maintain touch with this Ministry, and to carry out the formalities
which the said Legations may require from it. It has been observed that on
some occasions, official formalities are carried out between certain Legations
and other offices instead of with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs direct,
and since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the official channel of communi
cation between the Legations and the Government of His Majesty the King,
I beg that this rule may be observed, and any action contrary to it avoided.
In order to increase facilities of communications between the Legations •
and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Government of His Majesty think
it fitting that Shaikh Ibrahim ibn Muammar, the Qaimmaqam of Jedda,
shall be entrusted, in addition to his original duties, with the function of
receiving the urgent statements or messages which the Legations may desire
to communicate speedily to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and also that
Shaikh Ali Taha, the assistant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall
remain attached to him in connection with the work of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
This new arrangement will complete the arrangements previously made
for the presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, or of his Deputy, in
Jedda, and for meeting the [foreign] representatives there, and I trust
that the result of the same will assist all of us in strengthening the relations
and the bonds of friendship which happily exist between us.
