facilities and that a passage has been secured for him.
Occasional difficulty arises, however, in the case of persons
from destinations beyond India who come to this country from
r-\ Indian ports and whose normal way back is again via India,
Afghans for instance. Even if the He^azi Government were
more punctilious than they are, it would be difficult for
them to assure themselves that the Afghan Government will
accept the deportee as an Afghan national as they have for
practical purposes no relations with that Government. The
questions which arise are whether, assuming that the Govern
ment of India are willing to admit the deportee in transit,
I can further insist on proof (a) that the Afghan Government
will receive the deportee and (b) that the deportee is so
provided for that he will not become destitute in India.
The Hejazi authorities are most likely to get over any pass
port difficulty by issuing some sort of a travelling pass of
their own and they care little what becomes of the deportee
once he has been embarked for an Indian port.

a matter which has a certain bearing on the subject of depor
tation from the Hejaz namely that of deportation of Arabs
from British dependencies to the Hejaz. It is not clear to
me that all British authorities themselves apply the princip
les laid down in your despatch under reference. I have in
mind two particular instances which I may sum up briefly as
follows:-
