secure the inclusion in the treaties which they recently
concluded with the Hejaz-Nejd Government of any provisions
dealing with the slave trade, such as were embodied after
much difficulty in the Treaty of Jedda of 193? and in the
notes attached thereto. Liy means of an exchange of notes,

to bring bout the suppression of slavery in King I bn
Baud’© dominions, which constitute fully Independent
