The Director-General of Persian Telegraphs has telegraphed to Mirza
Ahmad Khan, Superintendent of Persian Telegraphs in Kerman, telling him
that the Governor-General has complained against him and that the Cabinet
are urging that he should be transferred from Kerman. The Director-General
adds that he fears he will have to yield to the pressure that is being brought
to bear on him. The main reason for the Governor-General’s enmity towards
him is that he has been consistently friendly and helpful to the Consulate

joined the Germans in Kerman in 1915, was imprisoned in Shiraz and even
tually sent to Tehran. He is notoriously anti-British and a mischief maker.
His Majesty’s Consul pointed out privately to the Governor-General that
in his opinion it w T ould be a great mistake for an individual holding his views
to be permitted to edit a newspaper, but the Governor-General replied that
the paper would he carefully supervised.
