Sir,

»o»168 of the 9th April 1932 from His Majesty's Charge
d*Affaires at Jedda, regarding Bahrain transit dues, and to
forward for the information of the Government of India a
copy of a letter received from the Political Agen t» Bali rain >
on the subject•
2. With the first portion of Captain JPrior's letter
I am in general agreement, namely, that this is primarily
a cojanercial matter, and that we cannot compel the British
India Steam Mavigation Company to grant overside delivery
if the, do not wish to do so. Their local Agents, the
Mesopotamia Persia Corporation, are naturally strongly
opposed to it since they are also landing contractors. The
Hindu merchants in Bahrain are also opposed to it, and it is,
I think, undoubtedly a trouble some arrangement for the
shipping company. Their only fear seems to have "been that
they might lose cargo to dhows. It is primarily a matter
for them to decide whether it is in their interests to give
overside delivery or not.
