of the Hejaz, Nejd and Dependencies, I had the honour to explain the point of

principles which inspire their action in the struggle against slavery, consider it

and Dependencies should assume the obligation of co-operating with them,'

co-operation is destined to strengthen that spirit of mutual assistance and
collaboration between the two Governments which animates and guides the joint
and determined action of all civilised nations against slavery.
2. Similarly, the Government of His Majesty the King of Italy desire that
their representatives at Jedda may be assigned the power to manumit and
repatriate any slave who spontaneously applies to them. 1 desire to assure your
Royal Highness that the exercise of such a power by our representatives should
