From—His Excellency the Viceroy (Foreign and Political Department), Delhi,
To—His Majesty’s Secretary of State for India, London.
Please refer to my telegram of the 22nd December 1915 regarding
Afghanistan.
> While we must be prepared, if necessary, to deal generously with the
Amir in the matter of subsidy, we propose to await communication from him
in regard to this question before taking further action.
The Amir’s conversation, as described by the British Agent at Kabul, is
regarded by us as satisfactory, and the somewhat grasping attitude adopted by
him in regard to the subsidy, which was not unexpected, would appear to
indicate confidence in our stability and to afford us, at the same time, a further
political lever in Afghanistan.
