Reference your order this morning. ( l
Haj i Ytfsuf Abdur-Rahman Fakhroo came personally to my
office, because he does not want anyone to know that he has
reported the patter to you even his sons. He says that he
Ccune yesterday to you co report tne following, for your
information only, in case it will come to your notice.
He imported two ,, International' , lorries in transit to
Saudi Arabia, but he kept them in Bahrain for sale to the
public, but no one has come to buy them. it is a system in
Bahrain that if any goods arrived at Bahrain in transit, the
importer has to pay 21 j transhipment duty. As he wants to
dispose of them in Bahrain, Haji Yusuf paid the full duty of
10£- Tbe above two lorries remained unsold for two months.
P.C.L.bought one of them for their work at Qatar, and it has
been shipped to Qatar. The information about the sale and
shipment reached H.H., and he rang up Haji Yusuf's son Ibrahim
asking why the lorry has been sold to P.C.L., and shipped to
Qatar. Haji Yusuf says that he has never ^-thought that H.H.
will not accept the sale of cars to P.C.L. for Qatar. He
s tnau P.C.L. is a Britisn interest, and ne sold tne car to
her. It happened that he visited the Adviser for export of some
old dates, and during the talk, and in a joking way he told the
Adviser ” H.H. is angry with me, because we have sold a lorry
to P.C.L. for Qatar". The Adviser replied him that he received
a letter from H.H.enquiring how the export of the lorry has
been allowed to Qatar for P.C.L. Haji Yusuf says should H.H.
not wanting anything to be sold by the merchants to P.C.L.they
should be informed secretly beforehand, and not after. Haji
Yusuf thinks that the objection for sale to P.C.L., because
the latter has included Zobara area in tn&ir oil agreement.
Haji Yusuf spoke to A.P.A. about dollars for cars, and the
latter promised him when a reply is received from the P.R.
