“288
AFGHANISTAN—NO. XXIV—1921.
My friend, if you will read the Treaty carefully you will see that there is no
such interference with the liberty of Afghanistan. You have told me that the
Afghan Government are unwilling to renew the arrangement whereby the late
Amir agreed to follow unreservedly the advice of the British Government in re>
gard to his external relations. I have not, therefore, pressed this matter : and no
mention of it is made in the Treaty. Therefore, the said Treaty and this letter
leave Afghanistan officially free and independent in its internal and external
affairs.
Moreover, this war has cancelled all previous Treaties .—Usual conclusion.
No. XXIV.
