P om ^ e ^ ou ^ ^7 Major-General Sir James Bell in his letter
No. 104 C., dated the 16th March 1912, with the exception of the Dthambari
(who are omitted from the present proposal for special reasons), the Beda and
Audali are the only tribes in the vicinity of Aden who are not in treaty
relations with us, while at the same time they are surrounded by other tribes
who are. This anomaly is quite unintelligible to the tribesmen, and we
consider that it is most desirable to remove it. The proposal involves no
forward policy, but merely aims at the consolidation of a situation already in
existence. We also, with due regard to the marauding tendencies of an only
partially civilised community, concur in the Resident’s opinion that the
treaties will prove beneficial to trade in the Protectorate, and, in view of the
reported entente between the Imam and the Turks and the activity of the
former in regard to our protected tribes, politically advantageous and desir
able. In this connection we would call attention to the present intrigues of
the Imam in Upper Yaffai reported in our telegram dated the 31st May 1912.
In the circumstances, we have the honour to recommend the draft treaties
and the proposed rate of stipend, viz., 100 dollars a month to Beda and 40
dollars a month to the Audali, for Your Lordship’s sanction.
We have the honour to be,
My Lord Marqtjis,
Your Lordship’s most obedient, humble servants,
