< r 7 . PUBLIC RELATIONS .
(a) The good progress of the Allied offensive in Italy
he." been the subject of favourable comment among educated
cL’sees, but public interest continues to be centred on
the ossibilities of the opening of the second front.
(b^ The Russian party mentioned in para. 1 above, gave
a display of publicity posters and photographs in the Bushire
Persian Club on the 29th May. The show was patronised by
several Persian officials and a fairly large number from^
the town, but none were particularly interested in the dis
play of material, which was calculated t'o draw attention to
culture "in the U.S.S.R., and the military might of the Red
Array. Among the war photographs shown there were a select
ion of prints showing dead bodies and mutilated children,
ail labelled as instances of Nazi atrocities. Many Per
sians were heard to remark that this type of show (apart
from the atrocity photograph&l) could be seen at any time
in the >'' p o-Persian Reading Room, and crowds v/hich had
j.Hooted expecting a good entertainment, eventually dis
persed with the only satisfaction of having received a free
cup of tea. The Russians are not particularly popular
among Buahiris, and this piece o^ propaganda did nothing
to alter their opinion of the Soviet.
(c) The British Consular Agent at Lingah reports that
the new building for the Club and Reading Room in Lingah
town, has been occupied.

on the 24 metre band.
VII. FOODSTUFFS.

published a notice relaxing the Government monopoly rules*
