rights or claim to any kind of sovereignty outside 1 'rontier
line suggested in paragraphs 8 or 10 or mut» "ring feIlCe ,,
of Desert ^one (see paragraph 6 of Kendal’s letter to Mr*
Laithwaite). It would also be desirable for FJLs J^ajesty’s
Government to retain flying rights not only ov^r Desert Zone
but also over any area which might eventually be conceded
to Ibn Baud under paragraph j-0.
12. You will no aoubt in any negotiations make such
use as you can of fact tnat any of these concessions would
involve acquisition by Ibn Baud of rights over very large
areas to which he has at present no legal claim and would
release him from obligations oi existing "Blue Line" frontier
from which he could not otherwise escape without great
difficulty*
13. If you see any objection to any part of above
programme I shall be glad to consider any observations you
wish to offer. I trust however that present telegram will
at any rate give you suificient idea generally of desiderata
of His Majesty’s Government to enable you to conduct
preliminary discussions with King Ibn Baud at Kiyadh if you
proceed ?there or with Fuad Hamza.
14. Instructions on such points as landing grounds
and flying rights, Saudi Government Debts, etc. will follow
by despatch as soon as possible•
