Sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receiot of
q 3^ your telegrams No. 58 and No. 60 of June 5th and 6th.
relative to the position of various interests in regard
to the oronosed Red Sea Oil concession. I do not
think it necessary to corwrent hy telegraph on those two
telegrams hut, as I shall have left Jedda before
Mr. Longrigg arrives, it may he useful to record the
following observations.
2. I was aware of the freedom of action as regards
the Farsan Islands enjoyed hy the individual grouos
comoosing the Iraq Petroleum Comoany and Petroleum
Concessions Limited. I attributed to this the fact
that the representatives of the Soci£te Frsncaise des
^etooles, who are still here, appeared to he confining
themselves to efforts to secure a concession for the
Farsans. I am glad to know that they are in fact
working in conjunction with their fellow-members of the
Iraq Petroleum Company consortium and to have had
confirmation of this in a short further conversation
with heykh Yusuf Yasin on June 9th, when he told me
that the French representatives had informed him that
they were t o collaborate with Mr. Longrigg.
/3.
The Right Honourable Anthony Kden, M.C. , M.?.,
