(5) Abdullah Khan Zarghampur has met Hussain Quit
and other Mamassani chiefs at *agar Chinch. Abdullah Khan
refused to re-instate Mohammad Hussain Taheri in Tal-i-
Khosrovi but a pact of mutual aid and non-aggression was sigmeiL
by which the signatories bound themselves to come to each <ofch© v, ' T, « sr
aseistanoe if attacked and to foffrid robberies and disturbance^
•inside and outside their territories. The last article of
'pact stated that ^should either signatory violate the pact
he shall be regarded as a dishonourable man and devoid"of
humanity”. Neither honour nor humanity are common commodities
in these parts, and the pact seems likely to share the fate yf
similar pacts elsewhere, for it was shortly followed by a vi ? it
to Hussain Quli Pustami from Mohammad Hussain. Taheri, whose
oousin Nasir s/# Ghulam Husgain Taheri and the brothers Ali
and Vali Izadpanah would, it wa* said, join them in order to
concert plans against Abdullah Khan Zarghampur. Abdullah’s
brother, Khosrow, visited Brigadier Huraayuni in Aliwaz on the
ap ^ ec ^ a supply of arm* and. ammunition a*
he intended to return to Ardakan apd. commence hostilities
against Abdullah with Ali and Vali Izadpanah and Nasir Taheri.
Brigadier Huraayuni referred Khosrow to the 0.0,0, Far* Division
on the grounds that Ardakan was in the area of the flhiraz cornmai-i.
News has also been received of fighting between Ali and Vali
and Abdullah Khan, so the meeting may have taken place and the
npn-agreggion pact have gone to join its Buropean brothers in
tne special limbo reserved fthem. There have been rumours
that Nasir Khan Qaghqai may trisit Abdullah at his fort at.
Tel—1—Knosrovi. Isolated bands €»f Boir Ahmad have been raiding
the Zaidun area.

to Muzaffar Ariani for hi* tufangchi* (nee para 6 of Diary Mo.10)
Is due to the fact thiit the budget allotments for the Ministries
of War and the Interior do. not even cover the ordinary needs
of these Ministries and nothing is/ therefore, available for
payment to tribal chiefs. It is to be ho oed that thin difficulty
may be overcome and a special allotment made.
