Sir,
With further reference to my despatch Overseas
Trade iio.10 of September 15th and to Bahrein des]»tch Ho.C/
259 of July 10th relative to the dispute between Messrs.
Muhammad and Ali Jamal Khunji and the Manchester house of
Mr.J.M.Shasha, I am directed by Secretary Sir John Simon to
inform you that the matter has now been investigated by
the Manchester Chamber of Coramerce with the following results.-
Mr.James Ainsley, the Assistant Secretary to that
body, has thoroughly investigated the case, tie states that
the main defence submitted both by Mr.J.11. Shasha and by the
bleachers who were responsible for preparing the goods is that
not all of the consignment about which the complaint was made
was damaged to the extent suggested by the examination of the
bales hitherto tested.
However this may be, Mr.Ainsley has succeeded in
impressing upon Mr.J.M.Shasha and on his bleachers the de-
whioh will arise in regard . *
plorable results to their goodwill and, indeed, to the British
textile trade generally in the Persian Gulf unless some genuine
effort is made to set the matter to rights.
With this object in view, you will see, from the
enclosed copy of a letter from Mr.J.U.Shaaha to the Manchester
Chamber of Commerce that Sir.J.M.Shasha now offers a cash
settlement of £200 without prejudice with a view to ending the
/affair
