His Excellency Musaddiq-us-Sultaneh received a telegram from His Imperial
Majesty the Shah on March 22nd, in which his resignatatrion was accepted,
and he was ordered to hand over affairs to Qawam-ul-Mulk, then at Fasa. The
Governor General by putting himself at the head of the Shirazis in their violert
personal opposition to Sayyid Zia-ud-Din and by ignoring pointedly all telegrams
from the new Prime Minister had made his own position impossible. Though by
abstaining from bribes and peculation, he had apparently won the goodwill of the
Shirazis, it was very clear that he was a weak Governor General for a large province.
On or about the 29th March a telegram was received from the Prime Minister
addressed to the Mullahs, merchants, etc., announcing the appointment of His
Royal Highness Nusrat-us-Sultaneh, uncle of the Shah, as Governor General.
The news of this appointment was not well received. The new Governor General
arrived in Shiraz on the 24th April, and on the morning of the 25th His Royal
Highness reviewed the South Persian Rifles in the garden of the Pal; ce. The
first impression of his personality has apparently not displeased the Shirazis.
His Excellency the Qawam-ul-Mulk returned from Fasa on the 31st March,
and called on His Majesty’s Consul. He stated that he was confronted with two
alternatives, support of the new icgime, or retirement to India, and on April
3rd he appeared at the Consulate and stated that he had come to the conclusion
that the British Authorities had no confidence in him, and therefore he had decided
to go to India. He then proceeded to ask for guarantees to be obtained by Bis
Majesty s Minister from the Prime Minister, should his presence in Fars, and
support of the new regime be desired. He would not place the least trust in
messages previously sent by Sayyid Ziaud-Din. His conditions included immunity
Pom arrest, supervision of his tax assessment by a British financial adviser,
lenient treatment for taxes overdue from last year, and permission to proceed
to India without molestation, should he not come to terms with the Finance
people over his assessments. In return he pledged his co-operation with the new
regime.
By the 7th April, certain assurances (but short of what he required) having
reached Qawam-ul-Mulk through His Majesty’s Minister, he sent for 300 sowars
to accompany him to Abadeh in orde" to escort the Governor General in to Shiraz.
The assurances given to him by the Prime Minister through His Majesty’s Lega
tion have been very detailed but beyond writing and asking that his thanks might
be conveyed to His Majesty’s Minister for the great assistance recently affoided,
he has not again referred to the question of guarantees.
Mr. S. A. Armitage-Smith, C. B., Financial Adviser to the Persian Government,
who reached Shiraz from Bushire on April 12th left for Tehran under escort of a
South Persian Rifles convoy on April 18th. Though confined to bed with mala
