I regret to report that Impression is growing in
the mind of Minister of Court that His Majesty's Govern
ment are not sincere in their wish to conclude '.Treaty
negotiations 0
1 would reier you in this connexion to paragraph
8 of my despatch No. 470 of September 12th.
Minister of Court has for a month past been adopt
ing attitude, presumably by way of retaliation, of not
replying to my letters e.g. he has ignored my pressing
request to conclude arrangarents for ratification of
tariff autonomy Treaty. He has sent no counter pro
posals regarding Buz dap railway. He has not replied to
any letters about Henjam police. I realize from your
telegram No. 274 of November 27th that some delay is in
evitable in sending me instructions regarding four points
which more especially interest His Highness but result is
that negotiations are at present entirely suspended. I
could not hope to get His Highness in his present mood to
agree to further modifications of Hen jam draft or to re
consider his attitude over Slavery Convention.
I venture again to draw your attention to time
Question and to urgency of getting Treaty initialled by
March 21st, if there is to be any hope of present Majlis
