Sir A. Ryan to Sir John Simon.—{Received June 11.)
(No. 152.)
gi r Jedda, May 18, 1935.
I HAVE the honour to submit herewith my annual report on Saudi Arabia
for 1934. \ Although most of it was written early this year, its completion has
been greatly delayed owing to the great amount of more urgent business since
February.
2. It has been necessary to devote much space to the Saudi-Yemen situation,
and I have thought it desirable to give a fairly full account of Anglo-Saudi
relations. I have done my best to compensate the length of these two sections by
curtailing others.
3. I am indebted to various members of my staff for much assistance in
compiling the report. In particular, I have again made great use of the reports
submitted to you by Mr. Calvert during my absence from Jedda.
^ ' I have, &c.
ANDREW RYAN.
