letter no. p.z. 4<i3a/33, dated tne 5tii
A^uat 1933.
i do not quite see wi^ it snould oe assumed tnat
tne entire cost oi tne sctLeme snould be met from imperial
revenues, since Indian commercial interests are equally,
if not more, concerned in tne oulf area, as imperial
ones. in these circumstances surely it is not asking
too mucn of the Indian Government to meet naif tne cost?
ihe sum involved irom Indian revenues, half one hundred
pounds, say about ks. 750/-, is trivial, and it would be
a great pity il this scheme, to which every one concerned
has given tneir blessing, should founder on this absurdly
small rock, which 1 am afraid may happen, as tne nome
Treasury, if tne Government of india.refuse to pay half,
wiii^^icse to stump up tne one hundred pounds. At tnis
juncture it seems to me tnat we snouid mame every effort
to encourage nritish, and nritish Indian trade. in tne
Gulf, for instance, the Japanese are making a big com
mercial drive with various commodities at under-cutting
prices, especially piecegoods.
i am sending a copy oi this letter to jj'raser —
