Dear Shuckburgh,
Hall haa sent rae a copy of the record of an
Interdepartmental Conference held at tue 'olonial /ffice
on the 12th March to discuss natters arising out of my
report on the negotiations with Ibn Sa'ud, and he tells
me that you would like to have any observations that nay

2. Before offering my remarks on the conclusions
reached, I would observe that, in considering trie question
of relations between His Majesty’s Government and Ibn Saud
the Imam Yaji/a should always be remembered. e is trie

Arabian policy.
3. Pnntrol of future relations with jbp gaud ana
channel of communication.

to the control of relations with Ibn Saud should apply
also to the Imam Yahya. I would here emphasize the point

His Majesty’s Government. They cannot divest their minds
of the suspicion that the real policy of dreat Britain is

may be by a cloak of liberality and sympathy with national
aspirations. The name -Colonial- Office frightens them
