intended end an expreaaion oi regret that this officer^
conduct had in fact ltd to an incidents
6 # it ia unfortunately true f how«Ter # that little
or nothing ia ever gained by diwcusaing zaattera with *iotamedy.
Whenever he ha a a statement to aalte, he reada out mechanically
a translation of some document that has been received from
acme other Government Department, and any other remarks that he
makes in the course of discussion must be regarded ae purely
personal observations* It is also virtually certain that he
does not report to his superiors, or if so only very vaguely,
observations that one addresses to him oneself. In ti»
present case there *ae, therefore,littie doubt that the
; “,ulament tost no insult had been intended and the expression
of regret came from himself alone; that the Ministry of fcar
had not in faot done more then forward Lieutenant Daraymzada's
own story, and that «iOtamedy would not report to anyone else
that he had in faot delivered some sort of apology* Ltill
less evidence was there that any reprimand had been addressed
to Lieutenant Larayaaada or th* t even any admonition would
reach him as to hie future conduct.
7# Mr. Loxley was accordingly in half a mind to
refuse this explanation altogether but finally decided that,
as I should be back in two days time, it would be best to
report to me and to let matters stand as they were for the
moment.
8 . Having decided that I could not let the (question
drop until I had been iurnished with at any rate some
satisfactory assurance of a more official nature, I took the
opportunity of a recent call on i^azemi to revert to it but
linking that he was, or pretended to be, ignorant of the
details, decided not to purme it until he should have had
time/
