Ext.1.1.2 of 23rd July, regarding the
proposed appointment of an Indian Assistant
Trade Commissioner at Aden, I am directed etc.,
to inform you that no objection is seen to
this appointment provided that, as is
customary, the responsibilities of the
incumbent are confined to matters solely of
trade and commerce.
2. In your letter of the l 6 th of March it
was proposed that the appointment should be
that of an "Indian Trade Agent" and that the
Agent should be charged with the function of
looking after the general interests of Indian
nationals residing in Aden and Dependencies.

Agent—in Aden with functions/wider than those
of the Indian Commissioners in British
Colonies, whose conceri^is limited to the
interests of Indians who are not permanent
residents in the Colony. It appears, however,
from your letter of the 8 th July that } as now
defined ( the proposal of the Government of
India is to appoint an Assistant Trade
