Sir,
X am directed by Mr. Secretary Eden to refer to
Mr. Todd’s despatch O.T.B.No.3 of the 4th March regarding
the desire of Ahmad Mohammad el Ghanim to take up the repre
sentation of United Kingdom firms «nd to inform younthat in
response to the notice in the Board of Trade Journal (a copy
of which was transmitted to you under cover of the Department’s
despatch Q.T. No.r$ of the 10th April} inserted on behalf of
the applicant, the following firms have been furnished with
particulars and have presumably written direct to the enquirer:
J. & A. Hillman Ltd., Dudley. (Belting manufacturers).

oil & steam engines etc.)
2. It is not entirely clear from paragraph 1 of the
despatch what exactly are Mr. Ghanim's requirements, i.e.
whether he requires centrifugal pumps etc. or merely the
belting for driving them. You should, accordingly enoe^vour
to ascertain the specific items in which he is interested,
which can then be noted in the Department for use as occasion
may arise.
3. Messrs. Fetters Ltd. (vide para.l) have asked for
particulars as to the financial and commercial standing of the
Lieut. Colonel T.C.W. Fowls, C.B.E.,
