The Kalat btate will, I presume, have their own
checking station at Sheikh V/asil as already proposed and
we might perhaps post one man there from the Quetta xolj.ce
as an additiona/1 precaution.
Delimitation of the frontier.
5. It appears from the examination of the actual area
that, provided we take a firm stand against any ridiculous
claims by the Persian Government, the extent of the
debatable frontier is very small indeed and is limited to
the fixation of one particular point, namely, the place
where the Mirjawa and Talab rivers join. The area in
dispute is in fact so insignificant that it is not worth
while our quarrelling about it unless the Persians raise
the question, and if they do, and provided again that care
is taken to limit the demarcation to this ami small area,
it should be a trifling affair which could be settled
in a week or two by a small Boundary Commission.
6. I am sending a copy of this report to the Consul,
be istan who I believe will be in general agreement with
its contents.
Sd. A.B.L.Cater,
Agent to the Governor General and Chief
Commissioner in Baluchistan.
