The Secretary to the Government of India,
Marine Department.
.With reference to Government of India letter No.1917-
51-4'.,»of the 29th September 1914, I have the honour oo
suggest that, as under present conditions no ships are
employed In the suppression of the arms traffic in the Persian
Gulf and the blockade is necessarily raised, it would seem
desirable to defer further consideration of the matter until
conditions return to the normal and ships are again available.
2. In the meantime reports from ohe Gulf will be closely
watched so that when the re-institution of the blockade
becomes practicable, its necessity may be considered in the
light of the experience we shall have gained as to the effects
of its withdrawal.
