4. Kick if you are appointed on
a committee; kick if you. are not
i>. Hold back your does, or don’t
pay at all
6. Don’t do tnore- than you can
possibly help; then, when a few

raise a howl that the Chamber is

Diplomats at Riyadh

FOUR LOST; TWO SCORE SAVED IN BOAT CRASH
JERUSALEM—(MS)—An important
capital to which it would be useless
to send diplomatic representatives is
Riyadh, the capital of Nejd, in Cen-
tral Arabia, the seat at time* of King
Ibn Saud, the Wahabi ruler of Hed-
jaz and Nejd. K diplomatic agent sta-
tioned At this capital would be con-
demned to utter isolation. With no
telegraph, wireless or telephone con-
nection, the only means of commanL,
cation with the outer world for such
an agent would be u despatch rider
mounted on a camel.
In consequen'ce of the Holy War
scare in Arabia, Britishers have re-
vived the demand for British repre-
sentation at Riyadh, the so-called
court of King Ibn Saud. This sugges-
tion is countered by the remrrk that
Mecca and not Riyadh ts the actual
seat of Ibn Saud’s authority, and al-
though it U impossible for a non-
Mohammedan diplomat to reside at
Mecca. Jeddah is withla close mag*
of the Holy City, and at this point the
British representative and all other
diplomatic agents have the advant-
age of a permanent diplomatic repre-
sentative of the Wahabi King. > !
