the Qnvsro-Sadchifcov proposed agreement for the constitution
of e Perso-3oviet oil coiiqpany in North Persia 3oviet reprisals
had been feared in Azerbaijan* Broadcasts in Turki* Kurdish
and Persian from the mobile secret wireless transmitter over
the Soviet frontier, calling itself the "Azerbaijan democrat

"liberation" of Azerbaijan from "reactionary elements" and
had given the 13th* December as the date when this development
was to take place* The people had been called upon to rise
and aid the forces who would come in from the north* Nervousness
prevailed but there were no signs of panic or disorder. Military
and gendarmerie patrols were heavily reinforced and the curfew
was more rigidly applied than ever* A stricter control was
exercised over travellers between towns and on the Tnhriz-
-Julfr railway and, in the interests of security, the province
was divided into ten gendarmerie areas*

any rate for the present*
