Shaikh said he was inquiring from Anglo-Persian Oil Company if they would better
Holmes' offer, he added that he was not in the slightest hurry to arrive at settlement
which inclines me to believe that he is now waiting to see what Ibn Saud does.
In my opinion Shaikh more than ever favourable to Holmes who, there is little
doubt, went to Jeddah to negotiate separate concession for neutral zone with concur
rence and approval of Shaikh. Ibn Saud apparently has not decided anything yet
but should Holmes succeed his object his chance of getting Kuwait concession will
clearly be greatly increased. Shaikh mentioned that Holmes flies London on 4th May
to meet prominent American oil magnate arriving shortly.
