Bated 4th September 1925.
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
Acting British Consul, Jeddah. London.
URGENT.
Your telegram No. 126 (of August 19th:
British delegation to Ibn Saud).
You should now inform Ibn Saud that His
^jesty’s Government have appointed Sir Gilbert Clayton as
their representative in forthcoming negotiations. You
should make it clear that he no longer has any connection
with the Palestine Government.
His Majesty’s Government deprecate proposal
that meeting should take place in neighbourhood of Wahabi
lines outside Jeddah. Communication with His Majesty’s
Government during negotiations would be difficult and it
would not be dignified for British representative to conduct
negotiations in the atmostphere of hostil/ities prevailing
in the neighbourhood of Jeddah. You should therefore
propose that meeting should take place at Rabigh or some
other suitable place on the coast. Clayton could sail
from Marseilles September 11. Please ascertain urgently
what date would be convenient for Ibn Saud to meet him.
