The Comptroller General of the Department of
Overseas Trade presents his compliments to the Under
secretary of State for India (Political Department)
and begs to refer to his communication No. P.1489 of
March 2l s t, which it is regretted seems to have re
mained unanswered owing to the departure of the official
who was handling the matter.
This Department understands that Major-General
G. H. Grey does not propose to proceed to Mesopotamia
on behalf of the British Trade Corporation, but on
behalf of a private syndicate. It is understood in
any case that General Grey and his party have deferred
their departure for the moment, pending the question
of the definite settlement of the future of Mesopotamia
by the Peace Conference.
