20th. The same machine arrived from Tehran on the 24th July and con
veyed more doctors to Jask and Bandar Abbas. It returned to Tehran the
next day.
{d) A German aeroplane No. D.-1198 Junkers W.-336/2506 arrived
Bushire from Baghdad. As it did no't carry a permit from the Persian
Government to pass over Persia, the military held it up from 21st Septem
ber to 25th on which date it was allowed to leave permission having been
obtained from Tehran. It left for Karachi, whence it was to proceed to
Calcutta and Tokio and America. It was owned by Baron Hynefeld, Pilot
Lindmer and mechanic Langerich forming the crew.
(e) A German light single seater 2 cylinder aeroplane was expected
from Tehran on the 24th September with Freiherr Koenig Von Und Zu
Werthausen on board, but it failed to arrive, owing to a forced landing at
Abadeh, a point between Isfahan and Shiraz. This machine with Freiherr
Koenig on board finally arrived at Bushire on the 18th October. It left
Bushire on the 1st November for Bandar Abbas, Jask and Charbar en route
to Karachi. It landed at Bandar Abbas on the 2nd November and left for
Jask the same day but was forced to land at a place 60 miles from Bandar
Abbas. It returned to Bandar Abbas and finally flew to Karachi on the 5th
November. This flight was really a remarkable performance if the minute
size of the machine be taken into consideration.
Section 6.
Arrivals.
(a) Prince Firuz Mirza, G.C.M.G. [Knight] Grand Cross of [the Order of] St Michael and St George (accolade). , Minister of Finance, Tehran,
arrived at Bushire on the 14th April from Shiraz and left for Mohammerah
on the 19th.
(b) His Imperial Majesty Reza Shah, accompanied by his Ministers,
paid a visit to Khuzistan during the month of November and among other
things declared the new railway and trunk road opened.
The Cabinet Ministers accompanied by His Highness Taimurtash,
Minister of Court, visited Mohammerah and Abadan on the 10th November
and left for Tehran. His Majesty the Shah accompanied by 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. Asad,
Minister of War, Prince Akbar Mirza Sarim-ad-Dowlah, Mirza Ibrahim
Khan Qawam, Sartip Murteza Khan and a few Majlis members visited
Mohammerah on the 19th November and stayed there in the house of Haji
Rais-ut-Tujjar, C.I.E., till the 24th November when he left for Bushire on
board the British India Steam Navigation Company steamer 'Varsova".
His Majesty landed at Bushire on the 25th November. A separate report
was submitted to Government about the Shah's visit.
Section 7.
^Political situation.
Conditions in Bushire probably differed little from those in other parts
of Persia. The high tariffs on tea and sugar created a serious amount of
economic pressure which was however substantially alleviated in Bushire
and its neighbourhood 'by convenient smuggling. Conscription and a com
pulsory form of head gear are not popular and there was certainly a notice
able lack of enthusiastic display of loyalty on the occasion of the visit of His
Majesty the Shah. There is probably however less interest in politics in
Bushire and the coast towns, the population of which contains a larger strain
of Arab, than in Persia proper.
Local sanitary improvements are noticeable by their absence, probably
due to the reluctance of Tehran to provide the necessary financial assistance,
but the local olffi'cials have certainly been successful in maintaining law and
order, and there is every semblance of working administrative machinery.
A certain amount of desire by subordinate Persian officials to make
things generally unpleasant, coupled with too zealous efforts to prevent
smuggling, has created a situation of considerable difficulty on the Arab
