2 . rr. 7proe desires itip to let you Vnow that Ris Righnes
the ^he1 kh o^ ^uwait has expressed his willingness to co
operate ^r> the suppression of tee-smuggllng.
3. Tt Is, however, far from clear to us how this smugg-
a;p
ling works. Are we to understand that this tea is regarded
as smuggled because it is outside the aucta fixed "by the f M
tea restriction scheme, and, therefore, not covered by the
Toverpinert of T, nd1a , s export certificate? If this Is the
position, perhaps it could be indicated in what manner the II
Sheikh of Kuwait could b<=st co-operate in the prevention off
the traffic, whether hy undertaking only to pass tea in
transit, when covered by a license issued by the concerned
authority In India, or otherwise.
Tours sincerely,
