My dear Clauson,
On August 13th I sent a letter (E 4627/5/34) to
Guttery of the Board of Trade asking him to make certain
enquiries regarding the extent to which harbour craft
employed by foreign shipping companies normally fly the
national flags of the companies in question, and at the
same time sent copies to you and to Seal (though I regret
to have to admit thao I did not indicate this fact in the
letter itself). I now enclose a copy of Guttery 1 s reply,
from which it appears that the ,, Garmsir M and the A*P«Q*C.
launches at Abadan are the only harbour craft known to
fly foreign flags. With regard to the A.P.O.C. launches
however, Tehran telegram No. 9 (Saving) of August 1st ^
(which was circulated to the departments concerned on
August 14th - E 4888/5/34) and our earlier information
from Persia suggests that these launches fly the Red Ensign
in Iraqi waters, but not in Persian waters. For
practical purposes therefore the question at issue is
confined
M.J. Clauson, Esq.
