Ibn Sa‘ud agreed to this procedure.
I then told His Highness that I thought I should acquaint him
with the attitude of His Majesty’s Government as regards Mr
Philby, who was at present in Jedda. Mr. Philby now held no

Government and His Majesty’s Government, who were not entirely
satisfied with the present method and would like any suggestions he
might have to make with a view to improving it.
Ibn Sa'ud replied that he himself was not satisfied with the present
