able to put forward any counter demands, unless connected
with capitulatory rights proper, such as the proposed
counter demand in connexion with French extraterritorial
rights in Zanzibar. Mr.Eden feels considerable doubt as
to the advisability of introducing the question of police
jurisdiction in the French enclaves in India into the
contemplated negotiations on capitulatory rights proper, in
view of the fact that the French Government would no doubt
claim some additional equivalent concession in return, but
if the Marquess of Zetland attaches considerable importance
to the point it is possible that the negotiations in regard
to British commercial rights in Morocco, in particular the
right to a fixed maximum rate for customs duties, may
possibly afford an opportunity to broach the matter.
3. In view, however, of the proposal now under
discussion with the French Government to initiate
negotiations regarding certain of the French loges in
India, it is not clear whether it would now in any case be
desiraole to endeavour to raise such questions as that
mentioned in the preceding paragraph of this letter during
the contemplated forthcoming negotiations in connexion with
Morocco.
4. Mr.Eden will be glad to receive as soon as possible
the views of the Marquess of Zetland on this question.
5. Copies of this letter are being sent to the Board
oi Tiade, Dominions Office, Colonial Office and Department of
Overseas Trade.

Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
