The last two named representing the signatories to the Kashkuli agreement.
1. After somewhat lengthy preliminaries lasting from 11 to 1 and after the
party had partaken of lunch, the draft Qashqai agreement prepared by
Sir A. T. Wilson was read out as also the Qashquli agreement. Sardar Ashair
then opened the discussion by objecting fundamentally to the Kashkuli agree
ment on grounds which may be briefly summarized as follows : —
(1) The Kashkuli are an integral part of the Qashqai and as such are under
the authority of the Ilkhani, to whom the management of the
Qashqai has been delegated by the Persian Government; as such
they have no right to make such an agreement.
(2) The lands in respect of which they have undertaken to sell their
proprietary or grazing rights are not theirs to dispose of ; but belong
o t e Persian Government, the Kashkuli are subject to removal
elsewnere at the option of the Ilkhani, who has more than once
exercised this option; and they pay taxes to Government not
direct but through the Ilkhani calculated on the number of their
oc s a nd tents, to the Ilkhani. In consequence, any payments in
respect of lost grazing rights should be made4T fa
