Department of Foreign Affairs,
KATHMANDU
NEPAL
August 19, 1952
Sir,
I write to inform you that the Prime Minister of Nepal,
Shri M.P. Koirala, and some other members of the Council of
Ministers tendered their resignations to His Majesty The
Maharajadhiraja some time ago, leading to the dissolution of
the Cabinet.
After an anxious study of the present political situation of
the country, it did not seem possible for His Majesty at the
present moment to choose a cabinet which would work harmoni-
ously and effectively for the good of the people.
His Majesty has, therefore, keeping the interests of all the
sections of the people in view, decided to run the administration
of the country with the help and assistance of the under mentioned
Counsellors:-
1. General Kaiser Shamsher,
2. Major General Mahabir Shamsher,
3. Mr. Khadgaman Singh, (Counsellor in charge
Foreign Affairs)
4. Lt. General Surendra Bahadur Basnyat,
of `ARCHIVES "NATIONAL RECOROS SERVICE AND with
and 5. Kazi Manik Lal.
These Counsellors shall be responsible to His Majesty, and this
arrangement will have to continue till His Majesty shall be able to
obtain a harmonious, stable and effective Cabinet, which might
obtain the goodwill of the people and might find it possible to
administer to their needs efficiently and effectively.
I avail myself of this opportunity to express to you the assurances
of the invariable friendship and highest esteem with which I am,
Yours sincerely,
The Honorable Dean Acheson,
Secretary of State,
KHADGAMAN SINGH
Department of State,
Washington, D. C.
Counsellor in charge for
United States of America.
Foreign Affairs, Nepal.
