so long himself Governor of Zabul, on his frequent visits
seems to give orders direct on any matters in which he is
interested without reference to the Farmandar, who in his
turn in certain matters seems to write direct to Tehran
without consulting the Ustandar. This is perhaps no great
matter as no official in East Iran, except possibly

8. So far from there being any apparent increase in
general efficiency, the roads, which are perhaps the only

i now so much in evidence in Meshed partly because with
practice the police agents on our gates are making fewer
stupid mistakes in the matter of arresting the private servants
of Europeans, whether living inside or outside the Consulate,
and partly because we are getting so used to it that in the
absence of special provocation we are able to ignore it.
Iranians now for the most part know that they must get
police permission to enter our gates and this they are usually
abl. to do in cases of real necessity. Even Mr. Yousef
Hakimi mentioned in paragraph 11 of my last report was
eventually able to come to claim his £60 deposit. ^hen however
