From Polltical,Ahwaz.
To Minister,Tehran. 17.
Eepeated Resident,Bushire
Dated and received 17th April 1922
according to the Sheikh of Mohammerah it is
the intention of the Persian Government to send Persian
troops to Arabistan. He is much disturbed at proapect and
in his opinion action is a deliberate threat against him
and appeals for our intervention under our agreement. He
points out with truth that he has gradually and with our
support established himself and brought under his control
tribes which were continually giving trouble under Persian
Administration and he decfciares despatch of small force to
Arabistan will inevitably lead to unrest and anarchy in which
British Commercial interests must suffer. I believe as
regards tribes now under Sheikh of Mohammerah his arguments
have much weight and that attempt to pursue anti-Sheikh of
Mohammerah and anti-Bakhtiari policy would react unfortunately
on Oil and other commercial interests unless it is supported
by sufficient strength to guarantee peace and Sheikh of Moh
ammerah and Bakhtiarls would not be sorry to discredit the
Persian Government by the unrest which would be created®
