hitherto personally conducted negotiations with Khan, has now
sent letter to His Highness regretting that their efforts since
last October to reach friendly settlement have not been
successful and informing him that future negotiations will be
handled at official level by Ministry of Foreign Affairs

resignation has appeared in press, asked a few days ago for
permission to visit Karachi for consultations but has been
advised to remain at his .post - officials of Ministry of Foreign Affairs had discussions with Fell who left here for Kalat on 6th March, and seem to hope that he will be able to induce the  Khan to implement promise to accede, which he apparently gave personally to Mr.Jinnah at SiBi

publication_icon Philipp Heimberger ,  Mario Holzner and Artem Kochnev wiiw Research Report No. 430, August 2018  43 pages including 10 Tables and 17 Figures FREE DOWNLOAD The German version can be found  here .
