understand in the library of His Majesty’s Embassy. The first of
these Conventions was never ratified, but the boundary line laid
down in Article 11 thereof was definitely adopted by Article 3
of the second Convention, the ratifications of tihich were ex
changed in London on the 3rd June, 1914. His Majesty’s Government
in the United Kingdom have not had occasion to discuss with King
Ibn Saud, since he acquired independent sovereignty over Nejd and
the Hasa Coast, the question of the precise boundary between his
dominions and those of the Arab rulers in the
Persian Gulf

who are in special treaty relations with His Majesty’s Governfcent
although Ibn Saud has, by article 6 of the Treaty of Jedda of
the 20th May 1927 formally recognised those special relations
and undertaken to maintain friendly relations with the rulers
concerned. But the fact that certain territories on the Ottoman
side of 1913/14 line have now become independent States, cannot
be regarded in the view of His Majesty’s Government as in any
was affecting the status of the territories on the otherside
of that line, which were then and still remain under British
influence. His Majesty’s Government therefore still regard the
1913/14 line as forming the boundary between the Ottoman Successior
State of Saudi Arabia and the territories of south eastern Arabia
with ?hich the r are in special relations.
3. Having regard to the presence of United Stated oil
interests in this area it is important that the United States
Government should be under no misapprehension on this point. It
is undesirable therefore that they should receive as full an
account as possible of the position of His Majesty’s Government
in the matter without delay, and should not be leit to obtain
possibly misleading infomation from the Turkish or Saudi
Arabian Governments. I shall be glad, therefore, if you will
arrange, as soon as possible for the United States Embassy at
Angora (a) to be furnished with a copy of the Anglo Turj ish
Convention of the 29th July 1913, and (b) to be shown the text of
the Anglo Turkish Convention of the 9th March 1914 (Aitchison
