said that on the reneral question of the
desirability of concluding a Treaty ^ith Ibn iSaud, the
Conference had at the Meeting of the 19th of January adopted
the view that the att^jrot to conclude a treaty shall be
persevered with, and he had himself expressed the personal
opinion that it wcs desirable that such a treaty should be
concluded provided this could be done without undue surrender
of important points on our part. He had, however, since
submitted the noint to the Secretary of Btate Tor India,
who rather inclined to the opinion that, inflow of- the
demands made by Ibn ^aud, the better course mi.'^it be to
drop the m otiations.

About this item
- Content
The volume mostly consists of correspondence concerning the relations between Britain and Ibn Sa'ud, with a specific focus on the negotiation and signing of the Treaty of Jeddah. The majority of the correspondence is between the British Legation in Jeddah and the Foreign and Colonial Offices in London. Copies were often sent to the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in Bushire, the Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, and the High Commissioners in Baghdad and Jerusalem.
The volume follows the evolution of the Treaty:
- Britain's initial reluctance, due to their official friendship with King Hussein, to engage with the issue prior to Ibn Sa'ud's conquest of the Hejaz;
- how this event then gave cause for the Bahra and Hadda agreements of November 1925;
- the negotiations between Ibn Sa'ud and Gilbert Clayton in early 1927 leading to the signing of the Treaty of Jeddah on 20 May that year and its ratification in August.
At the end of the volume (folios192-196) is Clayton's final report on his mission to the Hejaz and includes a copy of the Treaty.
