Airvaye station could be secured on terms to oe settled and
these enquiries seem to have led to the suggestion mentioned
above* As has been made clear in this letter such an arrange-
ment sou id, tfiile adequate to meet the requirements of the
Posts and Telegraphs Department, not suit Imperial and Inter
national Communications, Limited* in the position as it
exists therefore the Government of India do not require a
wireless station at Gwadur for any purpose of their osn ana
they could not agree to the suggestion to take over the main
tenance and operation of the station in question, unless purely
as an agent on behalf of the Air Ministry or Imperial Airmys,
Limited, in which case the Government of India would expect to
be reimbursed the entire cost of maintaining the station includ
ing the usual proportion of overhead charges* FHarther as txie
land line between Gwadur and KaXajchi \aould continue to exist
the commercial traffic that would be handled at the wireitiss
station would be negligible, being limited to canmunications
with aircraft, etc* I am also to add, however, that in case
this sug g estion is likely to be acceptable the Government oi
India would wish to have a further opportunity of examining it
after obtaining detailed information and the present expression
of their views should not be taken as committing them in #iy way
Lastly, ths reasons which in the opinion of the Government of
India preclude their taking over the maintenance and operation
\of the station would naturally also stand in the way of their
contxibuting a subsidy in case it were decided that the working
of the station should be entrusted to Imperial and International
Jonmunications, Limited*
I have the honour to be,
Lir*
Your most obedient servant.
