clearly showed that no such thing as "no man’s land"
existed in the centre of Arabia?
3. I also enclose a note made of an interesting point
connected with a certain Italian prize decision during the war
of 1912 with Turkey, v/hich has a bearing on this question.
In addition to the potential ammunition contained in this note,
the fact that the Kaiti and Mahri tribes are mentioned in the
Order-in-Council of the 14th October, 1913, about the Slave
Trade Act is a useful point.
9. I may say that we are inclined to think here that
the Italian G-overnment are labouring under a genuine sense of
grievance, and that in any case, v/hether they are or not, our
proper course is to act as though they were and furnish them
with a reply explaining fully and patiently with chapter and
verse why we think they are wrong. It is for this reason that
we shall welcome your cooperation in the construction of our case,
10► I ought also to explain that Signor Crolla has told
me since our conversation that he had prepared the draft of a
private letter, but had on reflexion decided that he had better
have its terms approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Unless and until he sends this letter, I do not think we shall
offer the Italians any explanation in writing. But whether he
writes or not, the question may be raised during the Anglo-
Italian discussions to take place at Rome next month. The
matter is therefore fairly urgent.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed) Lacy Baggaliay.
