The International Tea Coiiiiaittee,
59, Mark Lane, London, E.G.3
12th Pehruary, 1936.
Lear Sir Cecil,
I duly received your letter of the 24th ultimo
and iLUst apologise for the delay in replying to it, due to
enquiries being made as to the trade in tea done by India
with the Bahrein market. These enquiries have resulted
in the enclosed statement of exports of tea from India to
Bahrein, from which you will see that during the depression
in the Indian tea trede when prices were very low, that is
from 1928 to 1932, considerable quantities of tea were
taken by Bahrein. Since regulation was established,
however, and export prices improved in consequence the
demana has fallen off very considerably, and I am afraid
this market must be regarded as one which it is only
possible to retain on a basis of very cheap prices at mach
below the cost of production in India. It is in markets of
this kind that Chinese and Japanese supplies are likely to
prove attractive as these alone are available at sufficiently
low prices. It is not surprising, therefore, to learn that
Japanese tea is being importeu into Bahrein by way of
experiment and if the consumer likes the tea I am afraid he
will go on taking it as it is not possible, unless we
can bring China and Japan into the regulation scheme, to
do anything to stop supplies of this kind, as it would
not pay India to attempt to compete with the price quoted
for Japanese tea; in fact it was because India could not go
