CCI^IJK T L >L.
No. J 1 .467-lf.
JTom
The Deputy Secretary to the Government of India
in the foreign and Political Department,
To
The Hon^le the Agent to the Governor General
and Chief Commissioner in Baluchistan.
Dated Simla, the .18th July 1928.
Proposed rendition of Gwadur to the
Khan of Kalat.
\
Sir,
With rel'erenoe to the correspondence ending with my
endorsement iso.467-11, dated 25rd June 1928, I am. directed
to say tha't ^the Government of India, on a careful considera
tion of Colonel Keyes' restatement of His Highness of Kalat
claims to Gwadur revenues and those of the Gitchkis, con
sider that it is impossible now to reopen a proposal
definitely rejected so long ago as 1863. The observations
then made by the Bombay Government are of equal or greater
force today :-
"As for any claim of the Khan of Khelat, His
Excellency in Council scarcely deems it necessary
to place you on your guard against giving it the
slightest countenance; it rests on precisely the
same footing as His Highness the Khan f s claim to
Kurrachee, and after a dispossession verginr on a
century His Highness cannot be surprised at our
declining to take the slightest notice of it H ,
2. The finality of this decision has perhaps been
obscured to some extent by the fact that the Government
of India did not withhold consideration from proposals
made
