limit his own responsibilities to the utmost. There is
little doubt that we have lost prestige in the Hinterland
owing to the withdrawal of our garrison from Dthala and
posts en route. Our action is freely ascribed to Turkish
influence and we shall not recover our position so long as
we never show ourselves in the Hinterland and refrain from
punishing murder and highway robbeiy on the trade routes.
7. Pending further develox>ment3 I would now propose,
subject to the approval of Government, to assume an
attitude of indifference in regard to the recently proposed
agreements with the Haushabi, Alawi, and Kotaibi Chiefs,
and to restrict the generosity shown to them to such stipend
as is due under existing treaties and not forfeited by any
actual breach of agreement.

upon Alawi consent to any agreement effected, in order to
avoid unrest on the Habilen. And in regard to the Haushabi
he observes that somebody must be interested in keeping him
aloof
