BIND CLUB,
Karachi, dated 17th May 1930.
I visited Gwadur the day "before yesterday and had
a long discussion with the Khojas and saw the place where
the murder was committed. I confess that I do not feel
very happy ahout the matter and I know that Mr. Howell
shares the feeling. It is of course difficult to reopen
it now, hut I will discuss the matter with Mr. Howell at
Simla.
Tou have doubtless heard that Isa was accorded
4rzfcf
a great reception on his return and now appears^a popular
hero. This is extremely unfortunate and has naturally
annoyed the Khojas yet more. As my telegram will have
told you I do not consider it necessary to change the
¥ali. The Khojas themselves admit that he did what was
in his power to defend them when the row occurred and I had
a discussion with him and the Baluchi leaders and told him
that he must take adequate steps to reassure the Khoja
community. "While I am not prepared to take all that the
latter told feta aa I think there Is no douht
that the Baluchis do jeer at them and the fact that Isa
was only given a short sentence and then was accorded a
triumphal reception on his return is not calculaued to
make them feel inclined to overlook the past. "fcaris Ali
will he transferred a^ soon as he is relieved by the man
you are getting. the latter that he should
report to the Director,
Persian Gulf

Telegraphs in Karachi
who will give him certain instructions from me and
information regarding past affairs. I propose to X^ll
himthat in cases where Baluchis make any insulting remarks
