K. 3466/154^250.
Sir,
With reference to your letter Ext. 266/^5
of the 6th February concerning the proposed
agreement with the United States of America
for financial privileges for government
officials other than diplomatic and consular
personnel, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Eden
to state for the information of the Secretary
of State for India, that it is doubtful
whether there are any such United States
officials in the Arab States of the Persian
Gulf. Even if such officials have been
appointed, it is unlikely that they are
paying any local taxes which the proposed
Agreement covers.
It may, however, be considered
Jesirable to ask the Government of India to
cause enquiries to be made of the Political
Resident on these two points and I am to
enquire whether Mr. Ameay would propose to
do this.
I am, &c. ,
( Sd ) G. C. Allchin,
The Under Secretary of State,
India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. .
