Whitehall,

London, S.W.l*
- 28th June, 1939.
Dear Clough-Taylor,
I spoke to you last February about a request
from the Japanese Embassy for trade statistics in respect
of Bahrein. The request led us to enquire whether the
annual Trade Deports for Bahrein (and for Koweit and
Muscat) were to be treated as confidential, or 'for
official use only', or whether they were in fact made
available to the public generally. The result of our
enquiry, which I promised to let you know, shows that
all these Trade Reports are given a fairly wide local
distribution; they are compiled with a view to assisting
trade interests generally and are regarded as in no sense
confidential. In the circumstances the Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
and the Government of India see no objection to the
Japanese Embassy being given a copy of the latest Trade
Report/
E.L.F. Clough-Taylor, Esq.,
Department of Overseas Trade,
35, Old Queen Street,
8.17.1.
