competition, hut he suggests that it might he desirable
for you to obtain legal advice on this point. The above,
he thinks, may perhaps dispel the fears of the
Communications Company in respect of traffic exchanged
between Karachi and the U.G.A. via Tehran wireless.
He points out that the practice of the Government of India
is to have one uniform terminal and transit charge for
all traffic terminating or transiting Europe, but a
higher terminal in all other cases. In the event of
direct wireless working being established between Tehran
and the U.SJV.it would therefore be possible to adjust
the Indian terminal on traffic to Karachi so as to make
the through rate by such route equal to the rate charged
by the Communications Company. This, however, might
involve the fixation of a terminal so high as to cause
considerable criticism.
You will, I think, regard this reply as very
satisfactory for, although the Government of India
necessarily cannot commit themselves to any particular
action in a hypothetical case, the whole trend of
Bhore f s telegram shows clearly that the Government of
India are anxious to help and to work in close
co-operation with the Communications Company.
Sincerely yours,
