My dear Prior,
x
Will you please refer to your letter No. C/393
of the 1st November, on the subject of the proposed India
and
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
Bank?
£• The information you have given about the Directors
is illuminating, and it is satisfactory that, for the
reasons given in paragraph 4 of your letter, there is
little prospect of the Bank doing any business in the Gulf
if, indeed, it gets under way at all, which seems doubtful.
Sanction to the issue of capital for a bank to be estab
lished in India with headquarters at Karachi does not
commit the Government of India to futherance of the Bank's
activities in any way; and you may feel assured that the
considerations urged by you will be kept prominently in mine
if any assistance is asked for.
Yours sincerely,
Sd/- R.R. Burnett.
The Hon'ble Lt-Col. Sir Geoffrey Prior, K.C.I.E.,
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
