SECRET.

has been further considered with Foreign Office and Board of
Trade. With every anxiety on our part to help you and
full appreciation of your difficulties we feel extremely
doubtful as to possibility of any advance on lines you
suggest.
2. I will not stand in the way of action suggested
in paragraph 2 (a) so long as it is clearly understood
that in no circumstances will the net become operative
unless and until agreement had been reached with
Persians and other foreign countries affected, if after
consideration of point taken in next paragraph you think
it worth while to pass such legislation.

relatively small amounts involved prospect of securing
Persian^ concurrence in action you propose save on terms

practical purposes very slight. You appreciate that if
the import duty is replaced by a consumption tax Persian
cotton imported by land which now enters duty free would
become subject to the new tax. In these circumstances there
is the serious risk that legislation if passed could never
in fact oe implemented with the result that Government would
be in a worse position vis-a-vis Bhavanagar and vis-a-vis
