withdrawal of troope from Sarhad.

Reference your 526-S of 13th Febru?iry, The problera
of the withdrawal of British troops from Persian territory
falls into two categories ;•
(1) The withdrawal of Khwash,,
(2) The withdrawal from Duzdap and Mir.jawa,
As regards {l) ? - the arrangement arrived at in the
Foreign Office at Delhi was that the Khwash detachment
should stay for such period up to one month after the
arrival of the Persian troops as might seem advisable;
The first echelon of Persian troops is due at Khwash
today, the 13th, and ivlajor Dennys’ preliminary report
regarding the attitude of the Darnanis should be received in
a few doys. I do not consider that a final decision as to
the attitude of the Damanis can be arrived at before torch
1st-, by which date I should be able to decide whether a
supporting column will be necessary for the withdrawal.
If. as I anticipate, it then appears that no supporting
column is necessary the withdrawal from Khwash nan commence
as soon as orders from the Western Command are received. I
considertherefore, that the actual date of evacuation
should be torch 4th,
,2„ The withdrawal from Imzdap and Mirjawa depends on the
ability of the Persians to control the Barhad, and their
success in this maoter depends on the negotiations with
Dost MUhainmad being now conducted from Kirma-a,
^wing to the opportunity for delay given by the
action of the Persian Government it is unlikely that it will
be possible to formulate an opinion on this matter for some
months. •'■-closure in
