My dear Chamberlain,
Many thanks for your letter of the 6 ? ;h October
re'jardinpr the expenses of entertaining the Arab mission
from Bahrein. I am grateful to you for your ofier to
help us reach a solution, and i make the suggestion below
in the same spirit as that in which you have written.
it seems to me that the difference between our
two denartments could be settled by an alteration oi
wording. what the ireasury very rightly wish to secure
is that guests and exnenditure are not planted unon the
First Commissioner of fiorks without prior consultation.
Vie entirely a/Tee. but the Treasury formula which you
quote, seems to us to go a little further than is really
required for the Treasury object; and it is t! at ’ Little
further" which we should be rather reluctant to accept.
The formula seen® to imply that if we propose to the
First Commissioner of works two guests, X. from Arabia and
1. from Kajputana, the first Commissioner is entitled to
The Ki^ht Lon.
Austen Chamberlain, M#r*
