Sir S. Barton to Mr. A. Henderson—(Received Jidy 4.)
(No. 73.)
Sir, Addis Ababa, June 9, 1930.
WITH reference to Mr. Troutbeck’s despatch No. 65 of the 20th ultimo, I have
the honour to report that my German colleague has shown me the text of the Treaty
of Friendship and Commerce which he hopes to sign on behalf of the Reich with
the Kingdom of the Yemen.
2. The treaty is modelled on that made with the Kingdom of the Hejaz and
consists of four articles providing for perpetual friendship, exchange of diplomatic
and consular representatives, and most-favoured-nation treatment for German
citizens and goods. The German and Arabic texts are to be of equal force.
3. During the negotiations which have been carried on in Cairo during the
past year, the Yemen representative sought to obtain the insertion of articles
recognising the independence and the boundaries of his State, such as are found in
the treaty with the Soviet Union, and also of articles recognising the right of juris
diction, such as are found in the treaty with Persia, but the German Government,
so Dr. Priifer informs me, are not prepared to agree to such insertion.
4. Copies of this despatch have been sent 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.
at Aden.
I have, &c.
S. BARTON.
