I IjAVo rfesolved a roquost from Messrs A*M. Yateem
Brothers, Bahrain for assistant# in exporting 7,400,000
elgarettes from Ameriaa for Bahrain#
2# This quantity renrsseats Bahrain’s requirements
of Amt lean cigarettes, of which iTessrs A *U *Yateem are the sole
importers, tor about one year. I siceordingly roeonsnend tliat
assistanee should be granted and enelose the usual details. The
orders were placed between a year and six months ago and have
been accepted#
3. As regerde the total weight of those cigarettes
given in the enelosuras, namely 19 tons, it will be seen that
it does not square with the figure of 16 +»on« per quart * ^iv^n
as Bahrain’s requirement a from America in paragraph 2 of my
telegram Wo. 667, dated 28th August 1943, to the Government of
India. The reason is that I find that the Bahrain Customs, upon
whose estimates the latter figures were based^gave the figures
of all ease d goods ( but not other geode ) in shipping tons, not
lea*: tons.
