PERSIAN GULF
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
ADMINISTRATION REPORT
■ (3) To offer a^Governorship to the Kawam-ul-Mulk and to insist on U
departure from Shiraz.
In the meantime, however, on March 8th, His Majesty's Foreign Office
who were previously disinclined to take active measures and anxious to await
the formation of Swedish gendarmerie, now proposed (as they considered the
situation in Shiraz to be getting worse), to commence negotiations on the lines
suggested above: they enquired whether the despatch of troops was regarded as
an^essential preliminary and intimated that, in view of the opinion expressed
by His Majesty's Minister that the despatch of troops was unnecessary as far as
negotiations were concerned, they were disposed to deprecate the step.
The Eesident replied on the 13th March to the Government of India
expressing the view that the despatch of troops was a sine qua non to the suc
cessful outcome of the negotiations, more particularly in view of the time that
had elapsed since the attack on Mr. Smart without any overt action on our part,
He considered that there was no reason to think that the situation had got
worse, and again urged that if His Majesty's Government decided to take no
action to secure reparation, an announcement on the subject should be given
the fullest publicity in order that we might, at all events, derive some benefit
from this further indication of our friendly forbearance.
The Government of India, on March 23rd, intimated to His Majesty's
Government that they considered that the Resident should be authorised with
out further delay to negotiate with the headmen on the road, but considered
despatch of troops to Basidu unnecessary, in view of the improvement in the
attitude of the Persian Government: they urged that continued pressure should
be brought to bear on the Persian Government in order to effect the punish
ment of those responsible for the attack on Mr. Smart. They expresssed the
view that our cavalry escorts at Shiraz and Ispahan constituted the one weak
spot in our position, and must, until greater security prevailed on the roads,
remain where they were.
On April 2nd, His Majesty's Government intimated to His Majesty's
Minister that, after careful consideration of the whole situation, the following
decision had been arrived at:—
(1) Those persons who are well known locally to have been guilty of
attack on Mr. Smart and party, must be handed over for punish
ment to the Persian Government. On this requirement being
fulfilled His Majesty's Government would at once withdraw the
detachment at Bushire, and if the tribal chiefs and headmen showed
for at least two months a friendly feeling and peaceful attitude
and if road outrages do not recur, cavalry at Ispahan and Shiraz
would also be withdrawn.
(2) The Persian Government must undertake, before troops are finally
withdrawn, to support the Swedish Officers to the best of their
ability.
(3) They must also induce the Najaf clergy and extremists at Tehran to
telegraph to the tribes as proposed above.
(4) A new Governor-General must be sent as soon as possible to Tars.
(5) The Kawam to be provided with a good post elsewhere.
(6) Occupation of Basidu not considered necessary.
(7) No public announcement of our policy held to be advisable, beyond
intimation to the Persian Government.
