Foreign Office,
Deceraber 4th,1911•
I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transnit to I
you, to be laid before the Secretary of State for India, the
accompanying copy of a note, dated November 6th, from the
German Ambassador asking that, so far as the oxide already mined
at Abu Musa is concerned, instruetjons may be issued to the
effect that any further shipments by Messrs ^'onckhaus may take
After a full consideration of all the circumstances and of
the terms of former notes on the subject to the German Hmb^ ssy.
Sir E. Grey considers that Eis Majesty's Government should
accede to the German Government's request An this point, and
that it would hardly be dignified to contest it.
The oxide already mined has, as you are aware, apparently
been damaged by exposure; so that no great commercial advantage
would accrue to Messrs Vonckhaus over British competitors if
the whole amount of oxide mined were placed at the firm's
disposal
Subject to the concurrence of the Secretary of State for
India, Sir E. Grey accordingly proposes to inform the German
Ambassador that the whole of the oxide already mined is at the
disposal
