(D). Japan. Though Indian trade and question of internal unrest in
India are intimately concerned, we are not, in view of the delicacy o i<
situation in a position to formulate any definite suggestions. /* n
Turning to Aden, on assumption that Turks will eventually lie hna y
ousted from southern Arabia, our views are as follows
(l) We should adhere faithfully to our guarantee to Arabs not to extend
(21 y s there will presumably be no single power with whom to define
W spheres of influence, it will be useless to attempt to define any
iresh boundary or protectorate. .
(.‘V) Assuming Imam remains neutral we should come to terms \wtfi inm.
( 4 ) We should make such arrangements with other chiefs as aie
compatible with (3).
( 5 ) We should freely pardon all chiefs of protectorate, and reaffirm
treaties with them. .
• ( 6 ) We should leave Sheikh Said in hands of appropriate duels.
( 7 ) Our agreements with Imam, &c., should include a clause precluding
them from granting concessions of any kind to foreign powers,
or subjects of foreign powers, without our consent.
( 8 ) We should not advocate hereafter placing garrisons in protectorate
outside of the Aden settlement.
( 9 ) Hodeida should be left to Imam or other suitable chief.
(10) Our policy in hinterland should be one of peaceful penetration.
' All that we really require is to maintain reasonably" friendly
relations with our neighbours ol hinterland. 1 resent uai has
shown that Aden itself is easily defensible without regard to
•hinterland.
If, however, there is any idea, which we strongly deprecate, of leaving
Turkish enclave in Yemen, our views would require full reconsideration.
