exAQtly what waa at stake and he was most interested. It
will be convenient to have this information summarised and I
attach an appendix in which it is clearly set out.

the Arab side of the

# As regards (a) the full \
papers are not available here# and it ie difficult to sty
anything that would not be upset or amended by the conclusion
the
of^war, but I would be glad to be given an opportunity of
expressing my views when the question arises again. The most
practical solution appears to be that India should pay for
her cwn Consulates plus a donation towards the cost of the
legation. iSaoh side would then be free to employ the staff
they considered necessary and pay them at the rate they deemed
appropriate# much controversy would be avoided# and India
could not be debited with unforeseen expenditure.
7. As regards (b) I have a great deal to say. The whole
proposal is based on the false premise *that Indian interests
on the Arab side of the Gulf have very greatly decreased in
reoent years". They have not . They have very largely
increased# as T shall show by incontrovertible facts# and
they will grow greater still in the very near future. Then#
later# it is stated that "Imperial interests have entirely
submerged any Indian interest which used to exist*. This ie
simply not the case, as bir Trenchard points out in his
paragraph 4# why should the Air interest be more Imperial
than Indian *t loea India send and receive no air mail ' Is
it not vitally important that the ^oyal Air Force should be
able to rush machines to her help from the Middle East# a
reinforcement which becomes simpler arid more potentially
/ valuable
