7. The position as set out in the preceding paragraphs
is however modified considerably by the fact that Imperial
and International Communication* Limited, require a line for
maintaining through comnunicaticc between Karachi and Persia*
Under the treaty concluded between His Majesty's Government
and Persia a British Agent has been authorised to work and
maintain the land line from Jaak to Gwadur the greater portion
of which lies in Persian territory* fhe only agents to
this work can be entrusted are the Imperial and International
Conimunicatians, Limited, but that line would be useless unless
they can ariange to secure a line connecting Karachi with

limits (viz* Samankaur-Karachi) should be undertaken by the
Indian Posts ana itolegraphs Department, who would provide
