could not s op these raiders. The local Persian authorities’
consider that this is an attempt by the fanekis to get back
the rixies taken from them; the investigation made by the
A.L.O. and my own observations lead me to the same conclusion.
After the Janeki disarmament Mcrteza Quli Khan refused to
permit trie re-establishment of six Gendarmerie po«ts in the
areao He has also informed H.M. Consul, Isfahan, that.
while he regrets the raiding, the Janeki Khans are’unfor
tunately unable to stop it as they have no arms, and has
asked that they should be given some. The Governor-General
ana Brigadier Humayuini are against giving any more arms to
the unreliable Jarekis and, in my opinion, they are right 7
It is to be hoped that Morteza Quli Khan can be persuaded to
permit the re-establishment of the Gendarmerie nests 'and the
