Sign. Jemiceli, whose presence in hodeida has been tolerated
only in the capacity of a private individual. Under these
circumstances the difficulty - if not the impossibility of
effective co-operation with the Italian naval authorities is
a foregone conclusion.
APi’BHPIX 1 ,
PENZANCE 1 b No. 0/59 of 25th June, 1934.
PROM ••• Director of Customs, liodeida.
BATS ... 19th June, 1934.
TO ••• Messrs, hesse Ltd.
According to Instructions from Minister of finance you
should pay the duty on the kerosene consigned to you either in
cash or in kind. You have delayed paying for a long time and
must act accordingly or reply so that I may advise the Minister
of finance.

PROM ••• Messrs. Besse Ltd.
DATE ... 19th June, 1934.
TO ••• Director of Customs, Eodeida.
We have your reminder regarding the kerosene which
arrived during the former Government, i.e. a month before they
evacuated. We confirm our conversation with Prince Palsal, the
Minister of Finance and his assistant when we showed them that
the former G-overaraent owed us the remainder of the cost of
kerosene, benzine and lubricating oils and the duty was delayed
owing to the amount owed to us by the Government. If you wish
us to pay duty for the kerosene we request you to deduct the
amount owed by the Government to us as our Principals, the Shell
Co., are insisting on this. If the other importers of kerosene
who are in the same position as ourselves pay we will also pay.
