Copy of note No. 34 of February 9th.. 1939f addi'essed by Sir R.
dullard to the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs# Mecca.
Your Excellency#
I have the honour to inform Your Excellency that I have
now received a reply from liif Majesty's Government in the
United Kingdom regarding tlie queotion which was raiaed at the
end oi the letter No. 9/2/19 which was addressed to this
Legation by the Minister for Foreign Affairs on October 23rd.
1938, viz. the question of sovereignty over the island which
ie called Libaina in the said letter.
It appears# after investigation# that the ialand to
which the Saudi Arabian Government refer is a small island
whose local name is Bein al Saghir. Bain al Saghir lies
within the territorial waters of Nnin Ka'san Island# which
belongs to Bahrain# and therefore Hia Majesty's Government
are of the opinion that the Bahrain Government acted properly
and within their rights in erecting on Bain al Saghir a
visibis sign of their sovereignty. In view of this it will
doubtless be clear to the Saudi Arabian Government that the
mark to which they objected was not erected as the result
of a mistake but in accordance with a well-known principle
of International lav.
I have the honour to be#
with the highest consideration#
l^onsleur Is Mlnistre#
Your Excellency's most obedient#
humble servant#
