descriptions of the area of the Aden protectorate which would
make it guite possible to suppose at time that it did not extend
anything like as far as the confines of Muscat or Saudi Arabia.
Philby is fond of pointing to these apparent defects in our
title (see e.g. the "Near East" of the 29th April of this year)
and he has been followed by the "Daily Herald", one of whose
articles, dated the 10th June of this year, is worth looking
at and has, we know, been largely instrumental in putting their
present ideas into the heads of the Italian Government.
Furthermore, it was only in 1932 or 1933 (i.e. since the Rome
Understanding) that steps were taken to assimilate the position
of the Hadramaut Chiefs with that of the Protectorate as at
that time defined. Finally, the Rome Understanding unquestionably
uses the phrase "Southern Arabia" without qualification, and,
although this was no doubt meant by us in 1927 to refer to the
country bordering the Red Sea to the north of the Aden
Protectorate, a legal tribunal would be likely to say it
meant the whole of the southern part of the Arabian peninsula.
5. To help us in the construction of our case, the
Foreign Office Library have prepared a memorandum, of which I
enclose a copy, describing the origin and development of our
position at Aden. This memorandum in its turn draws attention
to two earlier memoranda ("Memorandum respecting the Hadramaut:
"Its extent and relations with His Majesty f s Government" of the
11th November, 1932, and "Memorandum respecting the boundaries
"in Arabia: Anglo Turkish arrangements" of the ^bth April, 1934),
both of vihich were, I think, sent to the Colonial Office at
the time. For convenience of reference, however, I enclose
further copies herewith.
6. We should be very glad to have observations on this
memorandum, and also upon the whole question of the case
