Sir,
With reference to your despatch No 15.9/657/S
dated 8th October 1931 to His Majesty’s Charge d’Affaires
-Tehran, a copy of which was sent to me, i have the
homuE to say that 1 have been able to obtain facts
of the case , the prisoners, as reported in para 105
of my diary for September, having been brought to
Ahwaz.
The merchants now in the military prison, Ahwaz,
are Johar Tujar Koweiti, Harbalayeh Hashem and Kara-
-balayeh Ali, both of Hindian. Whether Johar is
actually a Koweiti or not I cannot say, he may be a
Persian, but he is known as I have said above. He
and his family have been settled in Koweit for man;y
years * now.
1 cannot give actual dates but, at some time,
the Eeis-i-Tip here received information that fifty
rifles were to be shipped from Koweit to Persia. It
seems that this information was sent in the form of
at* circular report by a Persian agent in Koweit.
recipients of the information were the Customs authori-
-ties at Mohammerah, the Governor of that place, also
authorities at Sushire and probably other officials
in the Gulf.
The mohailla was unloaded at some unknown place
