Kindly refer to tn« correspondence resting with
my telegram No* ISO of the 88th March 1938 to PolKiekrpn
Panjgur of which a copy was sent to you by post and
find herewith a copy of the Assistant Political Agent,
Mekran's report of the 83rd March 1938 (which reached
me on the 88th ultimo) together with copies of its
enclosures and hie plan and a spare tracing thereof*
2* From the very lucid report, which was made
after his visit to the Kastag urea on the 16 th to
19th March, it appears that-
(1) the seizure of Juma Khan's goods on or
about the 1st November 1937 was made just within
Iranian territory (1 in sketch map) ana that in all
probability the goods were being smuggled into Iran*
The erroneous report# coii«.»unlc<rt*d in ray memoranda Nos*
7387 of the 30th November 1937 aid 1369 of tne 9th
March 1938 are much regretted and no further action
is necessary*
(2) the Iranian accusation of frontier violation
by British Indian troops on the 7th December has been
rebutted and that the facts communicated in paragraphs
3 and 4 of njy memorandum No* 1389 of the 9th March
1938 have been substantiated, and that in all
probability the accusation was due to the erroneous
assumption by the Iranian officials (Nalb hurrani) that
the whole of the Kaatag area belonged to Iran* That
Naib Durrani was restrained by his superiors at
Chahbur is most satisfactory*
