Office of the Adviser to
the Government, Bahrain
Dated, 10th J/Awal, 1363
May 3, 1944.
H. B. M T s
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
,
Bahrain.
Memorandum:-
Reference your memorandum No. 1191-36/B8 dated
20th April, 1944.
The "l'ist-s-.of .requirement s of the tliree motor
agejqjts are enclosed'^erewith. The lists include all
Government 'requirement s. The agents do not wish the
Government requirements to be dealt with separately
so have included them -'in. the orders.
'The agents have informed the Sxate Engineer,
Bahrain, it hat they are reluctant to place orders
until-th^ry know the prices of the’goods. They also
state that many of the spares are available on the
black market in Bahrain and they are afraid that
black market price may be lower than the new Govern
ment prices. I am of the opinion that the agents
themselves may still be holding big stocks of certain
spares which may find their way onto the black market.
We have never had a round up of car spares or tyres
and such action v^ould be difficult to carry out
effectively.
In some cases the explanation of articles on the
agents* lists not apparently shown on the list sent
in by the State Engineer is that the Government list
showed one item, i.e. carburator assembly, which is
given by the agent under six different headings making
up one carburator assembly.
Since the State Engineer first made up lists of
requirements the car position in Bahrain has changed
very considerably. The things which were required
over a year ago are not necessarily the same as are
needed today.
Many of the items now included in the agents
lists and not previously included are small things
which they know are not now available in Bahrain,
some articles previously included are no longer
necessary.
Would it be possible to request the Indian Govern
ment Department concerned to sanction the export of the
goods in the three lists which now represent the present
requirements for the public and for the Government? It
may be pointed out that since the first list was made
out by the State Engineer about two years has elapsed
and since the second list was sent in to you by the
State Engineer over a year has elapsed and in this time
the nature and quantity of the requirements has changed.
