&y lord,
With ri-Moreno© to jay tolegraia to tho
cOssjpil®t* 1 on^r for TrsuB^^ordan M0«Bhl of iiopt@ja.b@r So,
repeated to you aader 1.O.2X0, X hare the honour to transmit to
Your lordship herewith tho traus.la.tion of a letter dated
-eptemfcer 16 which I received from Fuad Bey Hamxa* on several
previous days he ashed m by telephone what news 1 had both
of the meeting of juagmsi 15 between Captain Oiubb and sheyhh
‘Abdul ‘Asia Ibn leyd and of any subsequent meetings or
arrangements, but I had to confess complete ignorance#
I at length received on September 15 a copy of
Captain ulubb^ report of ..vUg.iet 19, and mm thus in a
position, when the minister for foreign Affairs and fund
Bey visited Jedda on September 19, to rub into the latter
how hopelessly unprepared the Bejii&-I«4d representative
had been to tackle either item on their agenda of august
15. Fuad countered with the assertion that as regards
item (1) Sheyich Vbdul ‘jj&i® had been fully documented
with detailed lletn of raid-claim® sent to him from Mecca,
and th j t as for item {2} questions of future procedure lay
outside their immediate a cope, which'" was first to settle
outstanding raid-claims* He added, as he had already written,
that he had learned that Captain llubb had gone home, and
t a moment ’when it was most essential that he and the
Sheyfch should be .meeting for this purpose. He expatiated on
the
sty's principal Secretary of tat©
for Foreign affairs.
