On the 8th January His Excellency the Sheikh of Mohammerah sent out
Sheikh Khallaf and other Sheikhs of the Mianab with instructions to brin» i
Sheikh Earhan and to attack him if he resisted.
Sheikh Earhan thereupon fled and is now reported to be in Ah-Bid in
Bakhtiari territory. He is endeavouring to obtain a guarantee of security i
from the Governor-General and permission to reside at Shushtar. His Excel- ^
lency Zahir-ul-Mulk, however, wisely declines to have anything to do with
him until he has come to Ahwaz and made his submission to the Sheikh.
Sheikh Khallaf has appointed a representative in Farajabad, formerly
Farhau’s headquarters, and the Mianab is reported to be quiet. ^
In the course of conversation with His Majesty’s Consul the Governor-
General referred to the recent Oil concession granted to the Standard Oil Trust
and declared that he refused to believe that His Majesty’s Government were
seriously annoyed at this transaction, as it was obvious that our position
in the South would be strengthened and our interests safeguarded by the
insertion of an American buffer between our Sphere and Bolshevik Kussia
He further complained that
Sirdar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Ajal, Deputy Governor of Ahwaz, had
failed to comply with his request that he should despatch a congratulatory
telegram to the Persian Government signed by the principal merchants and
notables.
His Majesty’s Consul pointed out that
Sirdar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Ajal, like his distinguished
father, was firm friend of the British and that he could hardly be expected to
congratulate the Persian Government on an action which had evoked a strong
protest from His Majesty’s Legation.
Kalantars of Shushtar .—Excellency Zahir-ul-Mulk is determined not
to permit the return of Seyyed Azizullah Khan now in Tehran and Baqir Khan,
who will shortly be released from gaol in India, and he is requesting the
Persian Government to compel them to reside in Kermanshah. He emphasised
however, the necessity cf restoring to them their property, part of which has
been seized by Sheikh Farhan on behalf of the Sheikh of Mohammerah, who
m order to retain a good margin wherewith to bargain on ether subjects, has
adduced claims which appeur to be more than doubtful. His Britannic
Majesty s Consul has promised to use his good offices with the Sheikh in this
matter as it is important from our point of view that the Kalantar question
should be settled without delay.
