Messrs Saleh Jamal & Co.,
KUWAIT.
Dear Sirs,
We thank you for yotir letter or the 16th Ultimo
addressed to us under our formeUnited Exporters Ltd.
and dealing with the question of supplies of soap for your market
In reply we have to inform you that in common with
other soap manufacturing concerns our Bombay associates have
been affected by the acute world shortage of raw materials. They
have found it increasingly more difficult to maintain production
at a sufficient level for their own domestic needs and cannot
obviously make any allocation for export.
There seems little likelihood of any change in this
position for some time to come and in the circumstances they
have been requested to refer to us all matters concerned with
the supply of soap to your Market.
Unfortunately, as you are no doubt aware, the export
of soap from this country is prbhibited except under licence and
so far as Kuwait is concerned to export quota has been
established for this year and there seems very little prospect
of one being granted. We regret that there is no action we
can take here and it is preferable that any approach in this
matter should be sponsored in the market itself. We suggest,
therefore, in view of the curtailment of Indian supplies and
our inability to ship from here under existing arrangements
that you put the position before your own authoirites leaving the
to place the matter before the Board of Trade for consideration.
We have not yet heard from your Principals,
Messrs. Brown John and Howard Ltd.,London, but we will no
doubt be receiving a commimication from them during the course
of the next few days and will acquaint them of the position.
We are anxious not to lose the trdde which has been
developed in our specialty lines in your market and we, therefor
look forward to your further news on this subiect with some
interest.
Yours faithfully,
UNILEVER EXPORT LIMITED,
Sd/- W. Davenport.
