wrote the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , ’’the growth of Imperial (as compared
with Indian) interests has increased both in Persia and also, and
more particularly, on the Arab coast of the Gulf. The reasons
which moved the Government of India in 1922 to ask for a revision
in their favour of the division of expenditure resulting from the

the time has come to propose that the position should be re
examined by His Majesty's Government”.
