xc t ier's jr-«-Russian views tg one official wh» referred
4 -o them but it does ntt seem to* fanciful to imagine
fc.iat the fact that the son of such a father should b$ in
an important position in the South may not be entirely
unconnected with Russian designs there.
61. Sargurd Pakrawan’s activities appear to
have been, outwardly at least, unexceptionable. He
appearsito have been establishing contact with all the
Khans and men of influence and to have urged theft to
compose their quarrels. N«t a single report has accuse^
him of bribery and his reputation for integrity stands
high. He claims to have brought the Khans to a more'
peaceable attitude and one more trustful of the Government
but this remains to be seen. Blood feuds and conflicts
of interest are the persisting causes of unrest in the
area and these remain to thwart the would“be peace maker,
BORAZJUN
62. His Majesty's Consul and the Governor of
Bushire went by car tf Borazjun on 12th February and
together distributed A.P.R.R.F. clothes, sugar and tea
to some 250 of the poor. This visit in close association
with the Governor, ostensibly made for the A.P.R.R.F.
purposes only, was arranged by His Majesty's Consul partly
an some counter to the growing and widespread reports
that British officials are conspiring with the tribes
against the Central Government.
The Governor and His Majesty's Cohsul mart to
gether officials and merchants and inspected the local
bazaar where local produce was plentiful but dear and
imported cotton cl#th in abundance but none of it cheaper
than rials per yard.

The Borazjun area though merely self-sufficient
in cereals is a large date-growing area and is estimated
to have a yearly exportable surplus of. •ver 5,#00 tons.
The same Consulate-General lorry which took the clouh,
sugar and tea, took b*ek to Bushire three tons of dates
gifted to the A.I.R.R.F. by Malik Mansur, the Khan of
Shahbankareh,'some miles from Borazjun.
HIaT daub
63. From Hiat Baud, Rudhilleh, and Liravi, have come
very satisfactory reports of good crop prospects owing to
the good rains. Dairy products also, milk, butter, masted
ghi are becoming increasingly plentiful and improved in
quality. The price is still high.
LOCAL AFFAIRS . '

64. Orders for the separation of the Economic
Department from the Jinance Department were received from
Tehran, but the Finance Director, Aqai Rustaian* is anxious
to obtain for himself the more profitable post of Head of
the Economic Department and has not yet handed over charge
to any of his superior staff.
The Consulate Dispensary toured to Borazjun, Ahraedi
