Oil Situation Report for 2nd Fortnight of April.
Sir,
With reference to your demi official letter
No.232-S, of 17th March 1933 I have the honour to report that
nothing of an unusual nature occurred during the first fort-
ni^it of April, which coincided with the period jrfthat Major
Holmes was absent in Egypt and Jeddah. Local Oil matters
were entirely overshadowed by the arrival of l.M.S.E nterprise”
and the Persian Gulf Squadron and the round of entertainments
that had been arranged.
My fortnightly reports on the Oil Situation will
therefore start from 15th April — the present being ihe tirst
of the series.
I note that anything of an important nature should
be telegraphed to you.
