Sir A . Clark Kerr to Mr. Eden.—(Received December 14.)
(No. 581.)
Sir,
Bagdad, December 1, 1936.
WITH reference to my Saving telegram N o. 34 o f the 23rd November, I have
the honour to inform you that in the course of a further talk about his visit to
Riyadh the Minister for Foreign Affairs told me that he had discussed with
King Abdul Aziz the accession of the Yemen to the Treaty of Arab Brotherhood
and Alliance signed at Bagdad in April last. You will remember that article 6
provides that both signatories shall endeavour to secure the accession of the Yemen
to this treaty.
2. King Abdul Aziz had said that he feared that, in view of the present
suspicious attitude of the King of the Yemen towards himself, it would be of
little use for him to ask His Majesty to join the alliance. He had, therefore,
purpose. He had also suggested that the delegation should travel via Saudi
Arabia and had promised that, in addition to making all arrangements for the
journey, he would provide them with letters to King Yahya in which he would
give his full support to their mission.
3. Dr. Naji-al-Asil told me that the Iraqi Government had been much taken
by this proposal and had chosen Jamil Beg al Madfai to head the delegation. He
hoped that they would set out on their journey quite soon, but recent news from
the Yemen indicated the possibility of an outbreak of disorder, and if enquiry
showed that the situation seemed likely to become serious their mission might
have to be postponed.
4. I am sending a copy of this despatch to His Majesty's Minister at Jedda
and to the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.

proposed that the Iraqi Government should send a delegation to Sanaa for this
