4*28. Seyyid Lai Shah Bukhari, M.A., who succeeds the Khan Bahadur
Ihsanullah, M.B.E., as Indian vice-consul, arrived at Jedda on the 25th October.
429. The new Indian medical officer, Dr. Mirza Ghulam Rasul, M.B. r
D.F.H., arrived by the same boat. Dr. Abdul Hamid, his predecessor, left for
Bombay by the same steamer on its return journey.
430. * Dr. Rasul has obtained from the Saudi Arabian Government a licence
to practise only in his two dispensaries, at Jedda and at Mecca. The question
whether a fresh attempt should be made to obtain from the local authorities a
licence to have a private practice at Jedda is under consideration. At present
Dr. Rasul is actually treating private patients in Jedda who request his services,
in the same manner as Dr. Abdul Hamid used to do; so far no difficulties have
been encountered. It is understood that the new Italian doctor, Dr. Ghersi, has
a licence for his dispensary only, and that he has applied, hitherto without success,
for a licence to practise privately, although the Soviet Legation doctor has a
licence for private practice.
431. The steamship agency of the German “ Hansa " line has been
transferred from the firm of Fadhl Arab to that of Alireza.
432. A new broadcasting service, in Arabic, from Jerusalem was started
on the 17th September; it is called the “ London-Jerusalem Direct News
Service.” The Kaimakam of Jedda says that he listens to it occasionally, and
thinks it is quite good. On being questioned as to the suitability of the particular
form of Arabic used, he replied that the language of the announcer was excellent.
