therefore that the Sultans and Chiefs of the Protector
ate will give their attention to this matter also.
10. In conclusion I wish to remind you that the
present year is an especially auspicious one for the
BritisSh Empire, for during it will be celebrated a
Jubilee in honour of the completion of 25 years of the
reign of our Great and Gracious King, George the Eifth.
Our King is a noble example to all Rulers , both great
and small, for he devotes his thoughts and his time to
the welfare of his subjects and of those under his
protection. He is a mighty Ruler, to whom many lands
in all parts of the Vorld owe allegiance, and throughout
his dominions he is greatly loved and respected on
account of his high character and his good works. Ve
propose to have festivities in Aden in this year in his
honour, and we propose also to collect money on this
occasion to help the hospital in Aden and to feed the
poor, because we know that the King desires that good
*
should be done everywhere for the poor and for the sick.
I hope that some of the Sultans and Chiefs who are here
to-day will be able to be present at the celebrations
in Aden next month, and that some of you, who can afford
to do so, will give contributions for the good objects
that I have mentioned.
11. I hope to see you individually in my Camp at
Subar on the day after to-morrow, and in the meantime
I will leave you to consultation and discussion under
the Chairman ship of His Highness Sultan Sir Abdul Karim
and with the advice and help of Political Officers of
ray staff, and I trust that you will take this opportunity
to effect
