25. Smuggling. This continues practically unchecked,^
the Amnieh (Road Guards) are so corrupt that it is reported
that they will be disbanded and replaced by conscripts.
It is reported that the sloop BABR chased 5
smugglers dhows into Port Teben, but the water was too
shallow for her to reach them. They were subsequently
fired by a Customs Launch, but not before the cargo ha^
been carried off inland,
(Bushire Int. Report).
26. Local Conditions . The peasantry are reported to be
recovering from their losses due to the drought in 1931-33,
and this year they nave had a bumper harvest.
The shopkeepers are, however, in a poor plight, as
with the increase in smuggling, none of the peasantry come
into Bushire to make any purchases.
(Bushire Int. Report).
27, Abadan - Smuggling . There has been a considerable
amount of smuggling in currency going on between Seeba and
Abadan, it being possible to get 105 Rials for £1 as opposed
to the normal 80. Certain A.I.O.C. officials were involved.
The Customs did not wish to bring the case too far into ■he
daylight as all the bribes to Customs Officials were s^own in
the books. Thus the matter was allowed to rest with the
A.I.O.C. discharging one European and one Indian clerk,
against whom it was proved that tney had sold foreign
exchange to private persons. 28
28. Trade and Exchange Restrictions . Legislation has
recently been pas seel in Iran limiting the sale of foreign
exchange for imports from those countries with which Iran has
an adverse trade balance. This should not affect British
Trade as exports and imports almost balance if the export of
gold ingots imported for the Iranian Government are excluded.
The countries whose trade will suffer include Japan, who
imports only one sixth of the value she exports to Iran.
(R.A.F. Int. Report).
