Sir E. Ovey to Sir John Simon.—(Received June 13.)
(No. 299.)
Sir,
Moscow, June 6, 1932.
I HAVE the honour to report that the Emir Feisal, accompanied by his
suite, arrived in Moscow from Warsaw on the 29th May. He was met at the
frontier by officials of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs and was
greeted by brass bands which, according to the press, " played the Internationale
and various Arabian airs." On his arrival in Moscow, where the station was
decorated with bunting inscribed with Arabic expressions of welcome, the Emir
was received by Comrade Krestinski among other officials, and by the Persian
Ambassador.
2. The Emir's visit followed the usual programme provided for State
guests considered to belong to the second category of importance. He was received
by Kalinin, the president of the Central Executive Committee, on the day of
his arrival and a dinner and reception in his honour were given by the Deputy
Commissar for Foreign Affairs in the evening. Members of the Diplomatic
Corps were invited to the reception. Before leaving for Leningrad on the
2nd June, the Emir met Comrades Molotov and Kuibyshev among other Soviet
notables, while the visits paid by him included an inspection of the '' October
military camp, and of an aeroplane
factory
An East India Company trading post.
in Moscow. The Emir and his suite
returned to Moscow on the 5th June and left in the evening for Constantinople,
whither he was accompanied by the head of the Protocol Department of the
Commissariat for Foreign Affairs.
3. The speeches which were made during the visit appear to have been
confined to an exchange of the usual courtesies. No great prominence has been
given to the visit in the press. On the day of his arrival, however, the
" Izvestiya " published a leading article summarising the post-war history of
Hejaz and Nejd, and in particular their relations with the U.S.S.R. This article
was an unembroidered account of facts unaccompanied by socialistic ideology,
and emphasised that the Soviet Union was the first Power to recognise the
Government of Ibn Saud.
I have, &c.
ESMOND OVEY.

About this item
- Content
The volume contains correspondence and other papers related to the tour by a diplomatic mission from the Kingdom of Hejaz-Najd (including Emir Faisal) to Europe in 1932. The tour included a week-long trip to London in May, where Emir Faisal [Fayṣal] met King George V, and representatives of the Kingdom of Hejaz-Najd met with British officials from the Foreign Office. The main subject of the discussions between officials of both countries was a request from the Kingdom of Hejaz-Najd for financial assistance (in the form of loans) from the British Government. The request was turned down by British officials, in light of the existing economic circumstances (folio 18-23). The volume contains numerous reports from a variety of British officials at the Foreign Office in London, the Political Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. in Bahrain, and British embassies based in countries which Faisal visited, giving details of the Emir's movements and appointments, which took him to Rome, Geneva, Paris, London, The Hague, Berlin, Constantinople, and Tehran.
