bringing charcoal over the mountains from Mazanderan Gilan
and elsewhere and as the lack of proper roads make it necessary
to transport all supplies of both these articles by mule the cost of
transport is out of all proportion to the initial cost of production.
As a result coal costs on an average £7 a ton, charcoal £11 a ton,
and wood in limited quantities from local supplies, £3 10s. a ton
in Tehran. Similarly, the cost of transport makes it impossible
to export the surplus grain of the province of Pars, of which there
is a considerable quantity in years when the harvest is good, to
the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. Ports, or inland to other provinces where there
may be a shortage, and the landowners are credibly reported to be
constrained during the present year to burn their surplus crops
or to leave them to rot in the fields. Endeavours are, however,
being made to organize cheap animal transport to the coast in
order to prevent this waste. As in the case of her other trade the
problem of the development of Persia’s natural resources hinges
upon the establishment of cheap and modern methods of trans
portation without which she cannot compete with foreign coun
tries in exporting her products.
CONCLUSION.
.Given a reorganization of her finances, and construction of a
proper system of carrossable roads throughout the country, as well
as strict supervision of road tolls and taxes, Persia should be able ^
to look forward to an early revival of her trade and to increased
material prosperity for her population which has during the past
few years suffered considerable hardships. Increased and cheaper
methods of communication are, however, essential to such a
revival.
