INDIA OFFICE The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. ,
WHITEHALL, S.W.l.
20th August,1930.
Dear Mr. Hihherdine,
I have received from Sir J. Bhore a reply
to the telegram I sent to him on the 13th instant,
regarding the blocking rate. He says that they appreciate
your fears and would like, if possible, to help. When the
Indo route is closed, the line between Karachi and the
Persian frontier will become part of the Indian Telegraph
System, and the Government of India could not maintain it
as a separate administration. No transit charge,
therefore, would be leviable by India in respect of transit
over this portion of the System and, under the International
Telegraph Regulations the Government of India would be
unable to adopt a higher terminal charge for traffic
between Europe and India passing over this route than
is applicable to traffic passing over routes worked by the
Communications Company. Bhore goes on to say that,
when the route is closed, the Karachi-Duzdap section might
be reduced to a single outlet and maintained on a
standard necessary only for local traffic. It would
therefore be unsuitable for the transmission of
international traffic and, if pressed under the
Convention to give facilities for international traffic
by that route, the Government of India would be able to
reply that sufficient facilities exist via Bushire and the
Gulf cable. He thinks that there is nothing to prevent
the Communications Company fixing transit charges on the
A.H.Hibberdine,Esq., Gulf
Electra House,
Moorgate, S.C.2.
