Clear the line. Visit of Persian Crown Prince to Simla at this juncture is
^politically undesirable. Papers on the subject are being forwarded for personal
information of His Excellency. Would it not be possible for Crown Prince to
be dissuaded from undertaking proposed tour on ground of beat, inconvenience,
and impossibility of making suitable arrangements at such short notice. Gov
ernment of India would be grateful if he could be kept at Poona until be moves
on to Europe.
This is with reference to your telegram, 147-T. of July 6th.

To—The Foreign Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political
Department, Simla.
I repeat for the information of Government of India the following, dated
July 8th, from His Majesty’s Consul, Shiraz :— Begins. It will be necessary
to decide at an early date whether evacuation of women and children at Shiraz
to coast should be step preliminary to disbandment. Inspector-General asks
whether or not this measure is to be adopted. Eiots in Shiraz itself and
marauders on road will in bis opinion be certain later on. Personally in view
of experience and worry of 1915 which I shall not forget I should be relieved
to see them go. Probable hardship of travelling in heat could be alleviated
through rapid transit by motor and at night. Addressed Tehran, 124t repeated
Bushire, 766. Ends.
My reply is being separately repeated.

To—His Britannic Majesty’s Minister, Tehran (repeated Shiraz and Foreign, 1116).
Disturbances in Shiraz and on the Bushire-Shiraz road are in my opinion
Certain to occur as soon as disbandment of South Persia B-ifles begins,
think that in the circumstances it is advisable to effect gradual evacuation o
women and children prior to disbandment of South Persia Rifles in spite o
heat which I am afraid is abnornally severe this year.
This is with reference to Shiraz telegram, 1114.
