for the year 1916.
Some of the reports are rather longer than is required by the last orders
of Government on the subject, but the condition of affairs in South Persia was
unusual during the year under review, and for this reason I did not think it

It will be observed that there is no note on the Arms Traffic for the year
1916. The Intelligence Officer,

, reports that there is little or
nothing to record regarding the Arms Traffic during 1916, and that the few
authenticated cases of arms smuggling are not of sufficient importance to
require a separate report in the Administration Report for the year. This is
a satisfactory state of affairs, which I trust will continue.
