Although at present there is no great shortage of tin in India there is
very serious shortage of copper, brass and cetain sorts of iron goods which
precludes possibility of giving Collectors of Customs any general discretion.
Munitions Board now agree however to withdraw concession m favour or
copper and brass domestic utensils and to allow in its place a fixed monthly
ration of copper and brass sheets and bars. Please telegraph urgently estimate
of minimum monthly requirements of each and let us know what territory
this ration is intended to cover. Prom every point of view it would be con
venient if ration agreed on were consigned to you or to political officers named
bv you by the Indian Munitions Board and distributed at your discretion.
Beference in mv telegram of 14th January regarding treatment of applications
to export iron goods appears to have been misunderstood by you. Custorns do not
attempt to consider relative merits of the consignees. In the absence of special
recommendations from your end on political or military grounds cases are
decided after reference to Munitions Board solely on question of whether
demand in India for war purposes enables articles to be spared. Quantity of
iron now going to the Gulf is being closely observed by munitions Board and,
owing to constantly altering conditions in India, the Board thinks that for the
time being the present arrangement should remain in force.
This is with reference to your tele-
+ serial No. is. g rain dated 15th January.
