, London,
2nd August 1912.
Political,
No. 78.
To His Excellency the Right Honourable the Governor
General of India in Council.
My Lord,
1 have had under my consideration in Council the letter of your
-r, 7 . Government in the Secret Depart-
rroposed protectorate treaties ^ XT ^ -i , t t -r i
with the Beda and Audali Sultans. meilt ’ " °* J ime l as L
in which you propose the con
clusion of protectorate treaties with, and the grant of stipends to, the
Audali and Beda Sultans.
2. You observe that the Audali and Beda are the only tribes in the
vicinity of Aden who are not in treaty relations with us, while they are
surrounded by other tribes who are, and you point out that the removal
of this anomaly does not in itself involve a policy of forward movement.
3. The moment seems opportune for the conclusion of the treaties
and the grant of the stipends in question, which I accordingly approve.
4. As regards the wording of the treaties, I shall be glad if you will
consider the advisability of inserting in Clause 3 after the words “nation
or power ” the words “ except with the knowledge and sanction of the
“ British Government,” and in Clause 4 after the words “ to any Power ”
the words “ or to the subjects of any Power ” ; and I authorise you to
make these alterations if you think fit.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship’s most obedient humble Servant,
(Signed) Crewe.
