3, In the above paragraphs we have not taken account
of imports by land which, until land customs regime is
established ? would of course be adversely affected by consumption
duty as opposed to import duty R We think* however, that this
point need not seriously affect our proposal because quantities
involved are not large, while imposition of a land customs
regime at any time is quite within our rights©
4, You will of course appreciate that payment of
consumption duty will not be made by importers, but by mills at
the end of each month on their whole consumption« It will not*
therefore P be actually levied on cotton as it is taken in t and
Persian merchants will not have anything to do with it© If it
would diminish technical objections, we might call it, not a
consumption duty, but a license fee on all mills using foreign
cotton© This might be fixed at a certain minimum for each mill
subject to increase according to amount of cotton used©
5© If you can reply by the end of this week we can
probably manage legislation this session, for which we strongly
press©
