j^ollowing from Tabriz No. 4V of 28th.
Two everts have caused agitation here,
1. Murder of Mrs. Burdett
2. Outbreak of trouble with the Kurds at Meza [gp.undec
?ieh] on April 26th.
The Governor-General and the Soviet Consul-General,
think that Mrs. Burdett T s murder was planned (she was known
as being ,anti-Fascist) but I agree with my United States
colleague that more probably she was killed by mistake in
what really was an incident in a feud between two Kurdish
families. Important fact is that the assassin and an
) accomplice were arrested and are being examined here. Lesson
is that experiment of making Kurd Governor and allowing him
to use Kurds to keep order has failed.
Trouble at Res.... seems to be guile a separate matter.
Attempt was made to disam some Kurds which stirred up
hornevs nest. It is reported that Kurds have surrounded
R shooting freely. Governor-General has asked for
Russian support. My United States colleague strongly
opposus Russian intervention, acting so he told me, on his
instructions. He fears that given such opening Russia
would take advantage.
I suggest that in the absence of Persian troops natural
| solution is that Russians should support the gendarmerie.
I Small and temporary measure of support would be effective
and -X think wejiust [gp.omitted 1 Russia not to exceed what
'^is necessary. Do you aferee?
