railways I.F.T. end Basra port. Fith regard to his
relations with Inspector General of Communications he
will have his Deputy at Basra who will have the same
relation to I.G.C. as any ether transportation director
or deputy director at H*Q* L» of C.. .. .e « he mill
Control at base transportation services buo loG.a, w r i31
be as now finally responsible for the arrangements for
working L. of C. as regards despatch up country of stores
r.nd supplies. The above is the cnlp workable system
in my opinion but on arrival oY,General/Candolle details
can be arranged .
