You mirht perdajjs care to inform Caroe that i Dave

to the Government of India prompt information
reTardiny anything whIcli is likely to excite Indic^n

that they should arrange for a telegraphic nev;s
service between Iraq and India which will in tne
first instance take the shape of repeating to India
the news telegrams which Iraq send to the Yin s try
but with the omission of the press extracts in Roman
Arabic, which would probably only be an^ embarrassment
in India! Eventually, I think it will oe 1 ounc.
possible to supply India with a special news service
from Iraq based on India’s particular needs; and 1
have asked Bagdad to get into direct touch with the
External Affairs Department of Hie Government of India,
in order to explore the possibilities.
Yours sincerely.
