Colonel C-ouJi's reports fra: Shiraz leads
nim to oelieve that if vie drop Pairnan Fair.ia ne could
proceed t^ere alone; my own infomation does not lead
me to B-Xie conclusions nor do I think it possible for
any European unless backed by an adequate force to
control so turbulent a province as Pars without advice
and authority of able Persian to assist him.
my own view which Persian Government appear to
snare is tnat oppo.sirion to Paiman Fama merely cloaks
oppositioil to Sir P.Gykes's mission and that insistance
on latter implies insistance on former and I do not
see how we can abandon project of South Persian
Hifles without gravest result not only in Fars
hut elsewhere.
I near Koever and other political prisoners have
been released at Shiraz but that others are still in
custody. This is likely.to make position more diffi
cult and I fear for Sir P.Sykes's to endeavour to
proceed without further force to support him will
be risky. I would earnestly recommend despatch
of a column as proposed (group undecypherable).
