Your telegraraf No. 238 S. of 21st April.
Much regret delay over this question. I am afraid it m ill be at least three
weeks before I receive the Kuwait reply and can report on the subject of
Laubenburg arms. Some delay caused by non-receipt of telegraphic sanction
solicited in my telegram + No. 424 of 9th
April.
+ Serial No. 238.
I imagine also Political, Maskat, is embarrassed by alternatives suggested
in last half of my telegram already quoted. If announcement of sanction
could he accorded to either alternative, he would be in better position to
discuss insurance with To well and Com-
§ Serial No. 244. p an y. As stated Political’s telegram§
78 of 11th April, repeated to you, he prefers insurance of only such stocks as
remain with him for sale and doubts possibility of insuring all stocks excepj
at prohibitive rates.
Addressed Government of India; repeated to Maskat.
