rifrzaleha iiarhfca^ Bur^klisliajii # who, in addition to his
post as Conrmndant ot the Tabriz Division, still retains th t of
Governor-General of the fourth Dstan, returned froas his visit to
astern i-zerbaijsn on November 13th.
The fight between two sections of the Jelali Kurds near
Mftku, mentioned in the lest Diary, was apparently a purely uri-
v te and 1 o 1 affair and secaiis to have h^d no important con
sequences. It was probably an episode in a long-standing intern
al qusrrel among the Jelalis of ?aku, arising out of the mis-
appropriatioa by certain chiefs of a eum of 30,000 tomens granted
to the tribe by the Central Government for the relief of distress
about four years ago.
/nothcr incident is reported to have taken place in the
second week in November in the Som&i-Baradost district. Hassan
Tilo, a chieftain of the fhakkak, paid: a visit to Hezaieh. f/hll
he w^s there a rival chieftain laid an ambush on the road back
to his village and atched for his return. It appears that
Hassftn Tilo sent Pis people on ahead while he stayed a little
longer by himself in Rezaieh. His men fell into the ambush *nd
there were some casualties. Hasaan Tilo on hearing the news
hurried back to his v 1 I' ; ge,arxklaxratarax. raised
ilia people and promptly sought revenge on his enemy. It is
understood that the difference wes eventually composed by the
intervention of a Russian officer.
The foviet authorities h^ve caused the expulsion from
Resaieli of certain undesirable residents: Hajji Mirza Ghulam,
herd of the local charity organization and a member of the Tudeh
party, Mirza li skar a mullah, Ibrahim 'amsami a
lawyer, and a certain Ahmed Riaidi. The grounds of the Soviet
authorities’ objection to these people are not known.
. coording to Khalil iahlal the Herki bandit, Zero Bag,
’Aho usually lives in the village of Kukia, near IRezaieh, shifted
his camp to the 3«rda*ht region about the time of the occupation
of Baneh in order to act a® a liaison between Hama Rashid and
the Soviet authorities. He is said to have explained, while
disarmlag a couple of gendarmes on the Sardssht-Baneh road, that
ho was not doing so for his own pleasure or profit, but thrt he
was obliged to keep the road clear of gendarmes for other ends.
:• Rher Kurdish kf fairs. The general impression that
Khalil Fahlml has geined from his stay in Baneh is, first,that
there is little serious support among the tribesmen for the idea
of an independent Kurdistan, and sscond, that Hama Rashid for
feited his chance of winning any general sympathy among the Kurds
by his brutality st Herivan and hi© burning of Bench. Fahimi
appears to have be n impressed by the genuineness of the a a-
suxaness of loyalty he received from chieftains everywhere he
passed. r *e that none of them seriously believed th t •
the Kurds would be able to maintain an independent state: they
assumed th t a united iCurdieton would neoeasarily be under the
domination of one of the three powers who now divide Kurdish
territory among them, and the Kurds of Iran sew no advantage in
exchanging government by Iranians for government by Arabs or
Turks. They aofcaowi^^ed >^i*t Russia might h^ve a certain
interest in encouraging the idee of Kurdish independence, but
said they realized that Russian support would not be ^iven out
of pure affection for the Kurds.
Fahimi was headed a memorandum drawn up by the J.K.
Society in which they said that they were willing to leave the
political st' tue of the Kurds to be settled at the }eace Con
ference and all they asked for now was th© recognition of Kurd
ish as the official language to be used in administyation and in
the schools. Fahimi replied that as they were willing to leave
so much to the Peace Conference they might as well leive the
question of the Kurdish Ifsnguage to be settled then with the
rest.
Fahimi himself see© the solution of the Kurdish problem
in an extension of efficient government and social services -
