Telegram P., No. 60-F., dated the 23rd (received 24th) January 1916.
From—His BritaDnic Majesty's Minister, Tehran,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart
ment, Delhi.
(Addressed to Foreign Office, London, and repeated to Sir P. Cox.)
Secret. Government of India telegram No. 251-D. S. to the Secretary of
State.
I have talked over situation with Prime Minister. It is his opinion,
in which I entirely agree, that our chief aim is to support Kawam in Pars
as quickly as possible and secondly to restore in Kerman authority of
Government.
He urges despatch to Bunder Abbas of comparatively small force of, say,
1,600 men with few mountain guns and machine guns. Also a few additional
officers should be sent thither to recruit among Kawam’s people force of
which as soon as he can arrive Sykes would take charge. He asks mission
and guns be sent if troops cannot be sent. Kawam is expected to arrive Beb-
ruary 7th Bunder Abbas. He is apprehensive lest now that Soulet-ud-Daula
must be accepted as? having joined enemy Kawam may be crushed unless
effective support is at once given to him. If he should be crushed task of
restoring Government control in Pars will be rendered far more difficult than
it is already.
Prime Minister has received report that Government of India has decided
to send a small force to Kerman. He thinks Governor, Kerman, who is
now aware of change of attitude of Persian Government and is showing
himself loyal would be able to suppress German movements if this were done.
He strongly deprecates any attempts unless supported by very strong
force to undertake ? action even recruiting from Bushire.
