If the expedition is possible at all which 1 question on financial grounds I do
ot think demands made in least excessive. Cost of material can be doubt e s
forked out roughly but it seems impossible to frame any probable estimate o
ost of operations or of how far it could be met from revenue and resources of
Baluchistan itself.
If anything is to be done this year sanction for purchase of munitions of
tar and material must be granted at once as even now it would be difficult to
irocure them in time to enable expedition to start as it should do in early autumn,
rrangernems for seeking out and collecting the large quantity of transpor men-
ioned to which has to b? added Gendarme requirements will also demand time.
I doubt ability of Kerman Gendarmerie to supply 5 °° ™eu with Swedish
