With reference to yojur^Ka, D;^,T, 1 37589 enclosing
a letter from Lord Paringdon of the British Trade Corporatior
dated 16th July, relative to the proposed Commercial Mission
to the Persian Gulf and Mesopotamia, 1 am commanded by the
Army Council to acquaint you that the General Officer
Commanding in Chief, Mesopotamia, has no objection to the
proposed visit, and that the presence of Mr, Whittall would
be welcomed.
I am to add that the Civil Commissioner concurs, but
remarlis that a pronouncement as to trade policy after the
war has not yet been made by the Government, and that the
Mission would derive great assistance in their investigations
from such a pronouncement.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
