AH'^AZ,

Sir,
With reference to your despatch No. 4 (K 13622/187/234),
dated December 1, 1932, in accordance with the instructions
contained in which additional bonus was issued to the whole
^t^ff of this Consulate with the exception of the let Clerk
and the 1st Munehi, I have the honour to request that this
matter may again be given your consideration in view of the
continued rise in the cost of living and the special position
of these two employees.
2. The Head Clerk is an Indian, wno, although locally
engaged and paid in local currency, is dependent on the rupee
exchange when making remittances to his d ependents in India and for
insurance purposes. A man of his standing must maintain a
standard of living which he finds it difficult to do on his
present emoluments. It is essential to retain the services of
an Indian Clerk in Ahwaz where there is a colony of over two
hundred Indians,, many of whom know no language but Hindustani,
and whose peculiar problems are more readily understood by one
acquainted with Hindu and Indian Moslem practices. This community
is additional to tne three hundred odd Indian personnel of the
Anglo/
