regardix^ the tribal eltuatlon in Hare* It will be seen
that the eltuatlon hae greatly improved. You will recall
that Haeir and Oo. eat ibr the Hajlla, duly won a
number of Shlras eeate, but that owing to a manoeuvre
known aa "Changing the bonee * hie election wae rendered
null and Told and the eeate were finally awarded to
ottiere*
2. the complete Change In Ihe picture le due to
various causae. Firstly and most Important the receding
tide of war, and the fact now patent even to the stupidest
tribesman that we tfiall win lt| the return of naslr’s
two brothers from Germany; then the capture of the
German parachutists an! finally a fact which 1 do not
see mcitloned anywhere namely that the ^sh^al had a
motorised unit, the Trans-Jordan Frontier Force, catching
locusts on their flank througiout the cold weather.
3. while the fact regains that Haslr Is In complete
control of the South, X do not think that he Is now
likeiy to prove foxmldable. if not he himself, certainly
some of his relatloim have acquired an afleotlonfor a
more comfortable mode of exletenoe, and this liking for
the flesh-pots must have had Its effect. Secondly he
must realise that once the wur is over the Persian
Government will have large supplies of arms and ammunition
available and should have little difficulty in crushing
him at their leisure. While therefore ^>oradlo Insecurity
may continue I think It may safely be astuxned that the
main threat has lifted and that we need not fear a Sj
larger conflagration In South Persia. For this wc have,
however, to thank not our military protectors, Palforce,
whom I regard as a gross waste of public funds, or the
keen Interest they have taken (their Chief of General Staff j
said to me when Haslr was ravaging Fare last November
*We are not Interested in South Persia') but the turn of
events.
I am sending a copy of thie letter to Peel.

About this item
- Content
The first part of the file (ff 322-420) contains copies of various reports on the internal situation in the district of Fars, most of which were prepared by the British Consul at Shiraz between 1932 and 1939. These reports describe security, public order, economic conditions and agricultural productivity in Fars. Included in these reports is a detailed summary of events in Fars for the year 1936 (ff 352-370), and a report on the economic conditions in Fars in July 1937 (ff 334-346). These reports were written by the British Consul at Shiraz, Arnold Edwards Watkinson.
The second part of the file contains papers dated from August 1941 to July 1944 (ff 5-320). These papers concern the situation in Fars in the wake of the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran, and the two Allied powers’ occupation of Iran during the Second World War. These papers concern: the activities of the Qashgai [Qashqai] peoples and their leading representatives, including Muhammad Nasir Khan Qashgai; the Qashgai’s relations and negotiations with the Iranian and British Governments; the general security situation in the Fars district; reports on the whereabouts and activities of German spies believed to be operating in Fars, thought to be seeking influence with the Qashgai; security and defence of the oil refinery at Abadan.
