My telegram Ho.8.
Many thanks xor those instructions which will
certainly enable me to conduct the first round with Fuad
although I must study paragraphs 8 to 11 more closely before
I can submit any report by telegraph on them. Meanwhile I
submit the following points in anticipation of first conver
sations with Fuad, who reached Mecca only yesterday and has
not yet proposed a meeting.
a. I am now disclined to go to Riadh in the near
future even if Fuad brings an invitation which latest
indications make me think doubta-ul. apart irom reasons
of practical inconvenience which have some weight but are
not insurmountable, I see increasing political objections
to an unofficial visit. I do not expect Fuad to Vrenew
his impossible suggestion that ?all the negotiations should
take place at Riadh but impression is widespread that such
negotiations are impending especially in view of position
as regards Treaty of Jedda. This being so, my return,
without having come to any definite agreement, might be
misinterpreted locally ?as ?failure and ?due_to pressure.
Moreover King feels so nervous over the Blue Line question
that it would be better to confine myself to conversations
with Fuad as long as possible• ^ j
