HEIGfi OI’FICE, S.Wa.
30th Sovemfcer, 1928.
Sir,
The German Ambassador called at the Foreign Office
on November 23rd and informed Sir R. Lindsay that his
Government had recently received a communication from the
Foreign Secretary of the Government of the Hejaz, a
communication which had also been addressed to the German
Minister in Cairo, expressing the desire that the German
Government would formally recognise the Hej&a Government
and would opBQ negotiations with a view to improving
commercial relations. The ttjMHM Government had replied
accepting these overtures and wished His Majesty^
Government to be informed immediately of their action.
2. The German Government had since then received a
com unication from a certain Baghit, an official of the
Government of the Imam of the Yemen, also asking for
recognition and formal relations# To this the German
Government had hitherto sent no answer; they understood
that relations existed between the Yemen and Italy, and
that they were likely to be contracted in the near future
with Turkey, but they were not quite certain what the position
of affairs was between the Yemen and His Majesty's Government,
and, while anxious not unduly to delay any answer, thought it
would be desirable to have some information on this point
before doing so.
Sir R# Lindsay informed i^onsieur Sthamer that he would
make enquiries into the matter and communicate with him further
I am, with great truth and respect,
Sir,
Your Excellency's obedient Servant,
(For the Secretary of State)
His Excellency
The Right Honourable . , * u * t •**-r- /-s c si 3
