PQRSI® OFFICE. S.W.l.
24th February, 192 6 .
Sir,
With reference to the letter from this department
of the 14th ultimo regarding British Somalis in Abyssinia,
I am directed by Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain to request
you to lay before Mr. Secretary Amery the accompanying
copy of a despatch on this subject from His Majesty's
Minister at Addis Ababa which crossed that enclosed in this
department's letter under reference.
2. In the present despatch Mr. Ben tin ck furnishes
his observations both as regards the proposed system of
compulsory registration and as regards the status of the
9
Habr-Awal, Gadabursi and Esa Somalis. As to registration,
Sir Austen Chamberlain inclines to the view -that only those
who have had actual experience of dealing with this work in
His Majesty's Consulates in Abyssinia are really competent
to form an opinion of what can or cannot be done. He would
suggest that the point could best be discussed at an
interdepartmental meeting vhen Mr. Ben tin ck is on leave in
June or July, at #iich perhaps the Governor or Assistant
Governor of Somaliland might be present if in England.
3. It will be remembered that an interdepartmental
conference, whose recommendations were embodied in your
letter No. 3 6 627 of the 23rd July, 1919, considered the
problem of the Gadabursi in 1919. It was then decided
that
Hie Under-Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
