BRITISH ISGATIOIT,
JUDM
February 5th, 1931
Sir,
With reference to your despatch No.414 (T 8543/
3957/378) of October 30th, I have the honour to state that
when SheiIda Yussuf Yasin came here the other day with the
Minister for Foreign Affairs he expressed a wish to discuss
with me informally the question of the Hejaz Nationality
Law. I explained that I was not fully instructed on the
subject but I did not feel that I could safely shrink from
the discussion, in view of the length of time which had
elapsed since I myself reopened the question last June and
the anxiety of the Hejazi Government to get on with the
promulgation of the new Law. I therefore agreed to go into
the matter with Sheikh Yussuf Yasin on February 4th. I
regret that I was compelled to anticipate your instructions
on one important point, namely whether I should ask him to
define the territories in which the law would operate. I had
gathered from conversations at home that there could be no
strong objection to my doing this.
It had become evident to me in the course of
various conversations that I could not hope to put into
application the procedure contemplated by your predecessor
in 1927, namely that draft notes should be prepared in
agreement with the Eejazi Government and should be submitted
for the approval of His Majesty T s Government. It was
clear than Ibn Sa T ud was anxious to meet His Majesty T s
Government as regards the principal points raised in the
memorandum enclosed in Mr.Stonehewer Bird T s despatch No.102
of June 29th, 1928, but was equally anxious to maintain the
jesty T s Principal Secretary principle/
of State for Foreign Affairs.
