I wss very glad to see from Commonwealtbr^elatlons Office
Express Letter No. Ext .807/48 dated the 30th March that Cable and
Wireless are willing to establish a small wireless station at
Gwadur and to operate the postal business there. I hope it may
be possible to persuade them to take over the Gwadur post and
telegraph office at a very early date and in any case before the
30th September next. During my recent visit to Gwadur I was
informed that no repairs had been carried out to the post office
building for 7 years and that it will soon collapse unless some
thing is done. The building is quite a good one and used to
belong to the Indi-European Telegraph Department and if Cable and
Wireless want some suitable base from which to operate the sooner
they take it over and repair it the better. Another point is
that it seems likely that if the Pakistan Administration continue
to run the post office after the 30th September next they will
insist that only Pakistan currency should be used by it which is
likely to lead to complications c.f. my letter No.1031-93/6
dated the 13th April, 1948
