This agreement arose from a "common concern" to limit the devastating spread of cholera outbreaks associated with the Hajj. Kamaran Island, off Yemen's Red Sea coast, was at this time administered by the Government of India for the British. They expanded quarantine facilities here in anticipation of a significant increase in the number of Hajjis travelling by boat to Jeddah from British India and the Dutch East Indies. The Agreement recognises the Civil Administrator of Kamaran (a Govt of India appointee) as Director of the Quarantine Station. He would be assisted by 2 medical officers, one appointed by the Govt of India, the other by the Govt of the Dutch East Indies. It describes their responsibilities, sharing of relevant intelligence between the Govt of India and the Far Eastern Epidemiological Bureau at Singapore, pilgrim dues (presently fixed at Rs.10 per passenger), financial administration, expenditure, subsidy, and resolution of disputes. Signed by British and Dutch medical staff, this is supported by a detailed Schedule covering general provisions, provisions applicable to pilgrim ships, measures at Kamaran, and a Protocol. An exchange of letters between British Foreign Secretary Austen Chamberlain and Dutch diplomat Rene de Marees van Swinderen confirms the agreement.…
