Frontier meeting. Please see Consul, Kerman’s telegram of 19th January

January that Persian Government ask for postponement of meeting to next year
using similar arguments. Please telegraph your views. Has McConaghey
started for Pishin ?
Telegram, No. 79 C., dated the 25th January 1907.
From—The Hon’ble Mr. A. L. P. Tucker, C.I.K., Agent to the Governor-General
in Baluchistan, Sibi,
To The Foreign Secretary, Calcutta.
Your telegram of the 24th instant, S.—42. McConaghey reached Santsar
on 4th January and is now probably at Hand close to Pishin. Bampur
Governor early in January suggested to him transfer of meeting to Dizak. If
Pishin meeting is impracticable, we can probably manage Dizak early
although very inconvenient. If, however, Persians are undoubtedly covering
(sic) meeting at either one place or other, then I see no alternative to accepting
it in view of the great delay that must apparently ensue. If the Government
of India should accept this view, then I think occasion may be taken to move
Persian Government to take steps to control Persian-Baluchistan more parti
cularly in connection with the Magas and Irafshan forts and the arms traffic,
which is continuing on large scale. If these conditions continue, we shall be
-justified in regard to next year’s meeting in requesting, 1st, that it may be held
without fail, and 2nd, that our representative shall be attended by adequate
armed escort.
