paragraphs of this letter, I am to suggest that the Government
of India should he asked to assume responsibility for all
expenditure incurred at the posts staffed by the Indian
Political Service on the Arabian side of the Gulf. The
Government of India would then be able in addition to obtain
the full benefit of any economies which they may be able to
introduce at those posts. Lord Halifax considers, however,
that expenditure at these posts is not the concern of the
Foreign Office; that the question what contribution, if any,
should be paid by the Government of the United Kingdom in
respect of these posts is a matter which should be discussed

of total expenditure given in paragraph 11 of the Government
of India's letter of the 12th November, 1937. It will be
seen from the enclosed statement A that the total expenditure
of both Governments on shared services in 1935-6 was approximat
