Kurdistan.
Hama Rashid continued in the mountains
near Baneh and his negotiations with the
Government at Tehran dragged on. There had
been local fighting between sub-tribes of the
Guran; and in the Kalhor area trouble, after
the murder of the oub-Governcr of Gilan^was
averted by the prompt visit of the Ustandar
accompanied by the British Political adviser
and by the discreet appearance of British
armoured cars. Fr. Cook deprecates the action
of the Tehran authorities in allowing two more
Kurdish chiefs to return.
Persian administration.
The capable Farmandar was away from
Kermanshah^ all the month, his position having
apparently been rendered untenable by the
intrigues of the other officials who seemed to
be doing their best to hinder the efficient
administration of the Province. The quality
of bread had deteriorated and attempts to
make local hoarders of ghee disgorge, proved
abortive. H.M. Consul was doubtful whether
the two British officers detailed to supervise
the collection of wheat would meet with ai^r
assistance from local officials and thought
it probable that all the odium of the collection
would fall on the British. He also
considered that harvest prospects had
been deliberately minimised locally.
