Letter from Sir R. Bullard, to Mr. Eden.—(Received December 20),
(No. 173), Jedda, November 29, 1937.
As the period of one year mentioned in article 9 of the Saudi “In-
structions concerning Traffic in Slaves” (sent to you in my despatch No. 278
of the 6th October, 1936), expired on the 2nd October last, this Legation
has since that date been endeavouring, by discreet enquiries, to ascertain
what the exact position is. I have the honour to report the following
information, which is intended to complete that contained in my despatch
No. 102 of the 24th May last. I must emphasise, however, that the indirect
enquiries which I have caused to be made have been quite unofficial, so that
the resulting information, though I believe it to be correct, must be regard
ed with reserve.
2. Nothing has been heard of any six-monthly report on the lines
of article 14, nor of any supplementary observations of the Inspector of
Slave Affairs (who, it wil be remembered, is the Director-General of Police
at Mecca). It is not laid down, however, that such reports should be pub
lished.
3. Certain licences have been issued to slave-brokers in accordance with
article 12. Two brokers, named Hassan Amudi and Muhammad-bin-Seif,
say that they obtained licences from the Jedda police authorities against
the payment of £1 gold per licence.
4. One or two slaves only have been registered at Jedda. But the Jedda
brokers say that a large number of slaves have been registered at Mecca.
