Mr> Davey,
I see that a copy of papers Nos. 20 and 21 has now
been placed on our file.
I don’t think that either of the suggestions made
in oara. 2 of No. 20 is likely to *fipe out Pakistan s
erievance about discrimination against her currency, in
ny oninion the introduction of a new Gulf currency would
have been less objectionable to Pakistan than the course
already adopted, but there is little doubt that such
action, had it been taken in the first instance, would
have incurred the displeasure of both India and Pakistan.
(The prooosal to replace the Indian rupee by last Africa)
currency"in Aden is now distressing the Indians). I am
therefore inclined to agree with Mr.Gordon that:
therexore in ^ 3houl:1 t leav e matters where they are on
currency, so far as saying anything to Pakistan
goes; and ^
(b) if we start introducing our own trull
currency we shall succeed in annoying both India
and Pakistan instead of only the latter.
