Sir,
Jedda, May 8 , 1933.

WITH reference to my telegram N o. 93 of the 5th May, I have the honour
to submit a general report on the recent negotiations with a view to a treaty settle
ment between Saudi Arabia and
Transjordan
Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan
. I will endeavour to make this
despatch and its enclosures as self contained as possible, avoiding back reference
except when it is essential.
2. The mission from
Transjordan
Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan
arrived in Jedda on the 22nd April,
accompanied by Mrs. Cox. The party were welcomed with every mark of
distinction both on board ship and at the quay, where they were received by Fuad
Bey Hamza, the Governor of Jedda, and myself among others. Arrangements
had been made to accommodate them as Government guests at the Kandara villa
outside the town. If the arrangements there were not perfect at all points from
a European point of view this was due to no lack of courtesy or goodwill. The
formal dinners given by the Saudi Government, the Governor of Jedda and the
Amir Feisal on the evenings of the 22nd to the 24th April were well managed
functions. I do not think that the King can be accused of discourtesy in delaying
his arrival in Jedda until the conference was nearly at an end, although an earlier
arrival might have contributed to a happier result. He perhaps pushed oriental
formality to an extreme in making no reference to the object of the mission s visit
when he received us on the 3rd May, especially as he confined his personal inter
course with the mission to that single audience. .
3. I enclose a diary of the visit of the mission from the 22 nd April to the
5th May. Fuad Bey came to tea at the Legation on the 22nd April and we arrange
certain points of procedure. As our own drafts vyere not quite ready, we agreed,
the more readily to listen at a first formal meeting next day to an exposition
by Fuad Bey of points which might arise. He came to the meeting with ei ^
Yussuf Yassin, who acted as his fellow delegate throughout the conference ana
who, if there was any inequality, seemed to take the leading part on t e au i
