Democrats in close toucb. with the Russian Oorisulate had proposed to send a
deputation of four men to Tehran by motor car to pull the strings for his

Assad's departure aoquiesad in. Sirdir Assad was evidently considered as
a protega oE the Radians sinoa a subseq lent rumour of his appointment to
Meshed was looked upon as a Russian success.
There are constant rumours that he is trying to get back to Kerman.

Moazzim, the new Governor-Geaeral, arrived at Kerman on the
2 .st Octobsr. He is a Khurasan! who commanded the forces at Meshed at one
timo and married the daughter of a Governor-General of Meshed. He subse
quently became one of the Ihputies for Meshed and ultimately was Minister of
Justice in the Cabinet of Moshir-ed-Douleh.
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Moazzim was educated at a military college in Russia, speaks
French and Russian perfectly and is to all intents and purposes an European.
He is a man of delightful manners and very pleasant to mix with.
itis situation is a duTicult one since his income is not a tithe of that enjoyed
by his predecessor and I doubt if it is sufficient for him to keep up his position..
TJnder the new system the power of the Governor-General has been considei-
ably cut down. All departments correspond directly with their Ministers in.

Moazzim
complained to me that the Officer Commanding the troops in Kerman had
undertaken an expedition into Jiruft and Narmshir against his expressed
desire with the result that the unruly chiefs of those parts had realized that
they could with imp mity disregird all the force which the Army could for the
present detach against them. The expedition which had apparently been
Lrano-ed between the Rais-i-Malieh and the RaiS-i-Kashum for the recovery of
Revenue resulted in certain moneys being obtained some by force and some by
right—not all of which found its way into the Imperial Revenues.

Moazzim, though the reverse of anti-Foreign, shows very clearly
that he is anxious for Persia to find her own salvation though in the same
breath he has expressed his hopelessness of her ever doing so. He is at
present showing remarkable partiality for the Democrats but this is only policy
and he is no doubt playing his own game for the future when he re-enters the
Majliss, His own views are not in accordance with their general conduct.
Kargtjzari.
Maiallal-as-Saltaneh held charge of the office of Kargazar throughout the
tear. He has no anti-British bias, his main occupation being to make a smt-
Itble income. It is estimated that to keep his position he requires at least Ts.
SOO per mensem or say Rs. 80J per month. The Persian Government pays
him half this sum and therefore cannot, and probably does not, complain that
he takes other means to supplement his income. He is somewhat indiscreet
and so it is necessary to be careful in dealing with him. He has the reputation
Of a hard drinker and maintains a considerable Harem.
Finance and Revenue Department.
Mohandisel Mamalik left Kerman on the 8tli January and his successor
Fath-ul-Mulk arrived on the 12th. This officer who is.a capable man, making
a claim to honesty and being a patriot appears to be very anti -boreisn aiid
uses an anti-British atmosphere as a political asset. He is taking a leadin 0
part in local politics, is closely allied to the Democrat party and is, with the
Officer Commanding the troops, the only chief official who did not Ball upon
the British Consul upon his arrival. He is doing his best to undermine
authority of the Governor-General. It is understood that he is aiming at
catering the Majliss with the idea of ultimately reaching the Cabinet.
He understands the use of judicious self -advertisement and is an adept in the
fcrt of propaganda by suggestion. The general idea is that he is a capable man
who will rise.
