any Indian vernacular, have no knowledge of and little
eyrapathy for Indiana, and would be completely unveraed in the
Indian oodea, lawa and adminiatrative experience required for
tdtese parts* In fact, I cannot auggeet a surer and swifter
method of sabotaging Indian (and British) interests in these
parts than to hand over these Agencies to the Consular service#
The very existence of the small Arab States and their Indian
traders is threatened by Saudi Arabia, Tra<l and Iran at every

likely to hazard their careers, during their brief flight
through the Gulf, by countering the marked tendency of the
foreign Office to sacrifloe the interests of the email States
to the big ones ?

impossibility of employing Consular officers for this work*
He omitted one point, which I mention with some hesitation*
The consular Service, especially the "General*, owing partly
to its subordination to the Diplomatic Service, has been under
a cloud for some years/and has had great difficulty in maintain*

to this part of the world have been of comparatively humble
origin* Whatever their merits and their efficiency on paper,
1 do not think such officers would be suitable for dealing
with independent rulers or large British and American
oonmunltlea*
11 * Unless I am misinformed, the experience of India at the
hands of the Colonial Office has not been very happy, and
though they possess able men with some of the qualifications
required, yet T am certain that it would be against India’s
interests to transfer our control to them* I see nden
