Mr.
Crombie , r ,. (k S ^ G ~^>
I have sent to the Foreign Office, under cover of a/
letter to Dunbar of which I attach a copy, the list of /
Commercial Treaties affecting India which accompanied your
note of 14th February.
As regards paragraph 7 of that note I should say that
the declaration respecting Iraq could be left out of
account if it is as I suppose merely a renunciation of
capitulatory rights?* But you will have seen that I have
asked the Foreign Office to look into this. The Treaty
with the Yemen on the other hand (copy attached, please
^ return) was concluded w for India ,, and therefore falls
into Beckett's Class A and will be a continuing obligation
of the new Indian G-overnment.
As regards your paragraph 8 I should not have thought
that the Indian Government could insist on stipulation (a)
suggested by Sir B.N. Rao as part of the Treaty since in
internationa l law India's •new status" will be no different
from what it has been since 1919, i.e. a separate inter
national "person" distinct from the U.K. notwithstanding
her constitutional subordination to H.M.G. as regards (b)
we have already provided in the formula I suggested in my
note /Of 4th November for the transfer to the Indian
Government "of any reciprocal rights and advantages
associated or connected" with the obligations and
ssponsibilit ies of the internat ional instruments in questiois
am sending a copy of this note to Mr. Turnbull.
