(Sent 3.40 p.m. t 13th July, 1933.)
Important.
Addressed to Buahire No* 10. Repeated to
Jedda No* 88 and Bagdad No. 138.
Reference to Jedda telegram No. 144 to you of 10th
July. This warning is a very similar one to that
given by the Saudi Government in the case of ibn Rifada
and in that case proved to be a correct warning. There
is general obligation under international law to prevent
as far as possible hostile activities being conducted
against the territory of a friendly neighbouring country.
All possible precautions should be taken therefore to
prevent any such activities against Nejd based on Bahrein
or Kuwait, and we depend upon you to do all you can
to achieve this end.
