last, year the post of Assistant Under-Secretary of State, resident in Jedda, but
has practically never been able to serve any useful purpose in that capacity
except as a transmitter of messages.
2. Some weeks ago Fuad Bey Hamza informed me that he had arranged to
visit Jedda regularly every Saturday after Ramadhan, i.e.> roughly from the
beginning of Febiuary. He has in fact been available in Jedda on the forenoon
of most Saturdays since that date. The Ministry has now informed the foreign
missions by a circular that the branch of the Ministry in Jedda will be open every
Saturday for the i eception of foreign representatives. The circular adds that the
Under Secretary (or Deputy Minister, as Fuad Bey prefers to call himself) will
be prepared in exceptional circumstances to visit Jedda at other times at the
request of the representatives.
3. I take this opportunity of stating that the effective arrangements of the
Sa ? udi Government for dealing with foreign affairs remain otherwise unchanged.
The Amir Feysal continues to be titular Minister and to play no apparent active
role. Fuad Bey Hamza continues to be the only person with whom business can
usefully be discussed. If the new arrangement is adhered to, it should alleviate
the difficulties of which I have complained in the past.
