The Times condemns the policy of giving the Afghans control of their external relations; also what it calls the apparently calculated and unpar- donable delay of the Raj in revealing that this "great concession" has been made. It says Mr. Valentine Chirol's words in 1903 are truer today than then, that "Kabul is the very last place we should willingly suffer to be transformed into a centre of diplomatic rivalry." It remarks that the choice of Mr. Grast to conduct the negotiations wasn't a good one, and thus a letne pan be devised that the obvious man for the job was Roos Keppel..
