PARAPHRA8K TEIiEORAI^ from the Secretary^ol 4 iHc3t#--4 , o>r the
Colonies to the Acting Resident at Aden,
Cent 9 0 S5 p,m, 25th July, 1935.

Ho. 4?. Secrete,
Your telegram No.27. It lias heen decided that it is
highly undesirable at the present .juncture that British subjects
or British protected persons should be employed in Ethiopia
or Italian colonies either in a civil capacity (e.g. as
labourers) or with military forces, and that steps should be
taken as a matter of policy tc prenrent, such employment if at
possible. I assume that having regard to terms of the Indian
Emigration Act there will be no difficulty in preventing
emigration from Aden, and I shtolel be grateful if you ijfould take
the necessary measures. I am aware that the Ret might not
provide an adequate legal basis for preventing oersons seeking
employment who are neither under agreement nor in receipt of
assistance from departing j x A om Aden, in view of the definition
of emigration. Please report whether you think it necessary
that further powers should be ta.K.en to guard against this
possibility.
It is possible fully to justify the prohibition in
interests of oersons concerned for whose protection Government
is responsible.
Different considerations are raised by recruitment
through Aden of non-British subjects, and it is thought that
it would be advantageous if the views of the King of Yemen
regarding the recruitment of his subjects for service in
Ethiopia or the Italian Colonies could be ascertained before
any decision is taken in regard to them, I should be grat<£ul
if
