Wilson the possibility of his visiting the South again,and
at the time the latter thought such a visit might be a good
thing as it would give the War Minister a chance of

Sipah had
'j arr-sted Allah Karajrj Khan and shewn anti-British bias. I
\ do not think Sir Arnold would now regard such a visit with
favour; I certainly would not do so, and share Mr. Chick’s
fears as to the danger of a second visit as long as the
c’ar Minister is in a position to act in such a headstrong
manner without reference to the Prime Minister or the
Cabinet.
The interference by the Military in ordinary Civil
matters which Mr. Chick mentions was carried a long way at
Bushire during the War Minister's visit-and shortly after # -
The Police Department was taken over by the military, the
old Tufangchis on posts outside the Town were abolished,
orders were given direct by the military authorities to the
Officer Commanding, and by the latter to his subordinate at
Borazjun to turn out local Khans etc. etc.
It is difficult to say where all this will end; one ^
thing is very certain and that is this, in a fe w months
time when very little revenue comes in, the local Finances
will not be able to pay the expenses of administration and
the cost of the troops etc. and then there will oe diffi
culties.
All things considered I think that, as the "sr Minis
ter only shows a disposition to take hasty and ill con
sidered action, and none to study conditions and learn
the position in the South, a second visit by him to these
parts
