In the south however there is no force competent to restore and maintain
order and I scarcely (think) His Majesty’s Government will he disposed to
sending ? troops for the purpose of joining ? gendarmes now in ? under
Major Nystron and supposed to be loyal. It is an experiment which even as a
temporary measure I should hesitate to recommend. It is, however, clear that
our interests demand some provision should he made for dealing with South
Persia and I suggest that in our discussions with Persian Government we should
inform Persian Government that we shall demand formation of corps under
British officers or instructors as soon as we find it convenient to do so for
maintenance of order in Southern Persia where we have predominant interests.
Meanwhile unless Government of India is able to send some force to act as a
nucleus and (?) additional officers to train new corps which could perhaps he
recruited among Kawam tribesmen, condition of Pars and other districts along
littoral will, I fear, go from had to worse.
Kawam, as you are aware, has failed to crush gendarmerie largely owing
to failure of Soulet to give him assistance. Though Government are doing all
they can to urge him to action latter’s attitude is very dubious. Kawam is at
Lar at present.
