PZ 7629/1934 ‘Messrs Wonckhaus’s claim in respect of Abu Musa oxide’
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains correspondence and other papers relating to the claim of Robert Wonkhaus and Company, Hamburg, for financial compensation for loss due to the interruption of their contract for purchasing red oxide at Abu Musa from a concessionaire, following the cancellation of the concession by the Shaikh of Shargah [Sharjah]. Negotiations had taken place with the company before the First World War, but the question of compensation due to them was left undecided by the outbreak of the War.
It includes correspondence between M J Clauson, India Office and Gustav Zinnow, a partner in the company Robert Wonkhaus and Company, including a letter from Clauson to Zinnow of 30 September 1939, stating that he is directed to inform Zinnow that there is no prospect of HM Government or the Government of India being able to favourably consider Zinnow’s representations for compensation (folio 2). The file also includes correspondence between Clauson and Thompson, Quarrell and Company, Solicitors, and other related correspondence and papers, such as a statement on the case by Zinnow (folios 20 to 24).
