From Burnett. Your 'telegram No. 454. Kalat.

letter from Prime Minister Kalat intimating results of
discussions on accession in (A) Lower and (B) Upper Houses of
Kalat Assembly, namely (A) preference for Treaty instead of
accession and (B) reguest for further time for consideration.
This letter has not yet reached Cahinet to whom it is being
submitted, and reply proposed to question is therefore suitable,
2. Secret. I understand that Mr.Jinnah, who has
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
through A.G.G. Baluchistan.
3. I also understand' that the Kalat Prime Minister,
Mohammad Aslam who is Pakistan Officer, and report of whose
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
