be taken as indicating, generally, the price conditions prevail
ing at the other stations in Persia named above. I also attach
a statement of prices in Kuwait during the same period,

slight improvement is indicated, the level of prices has not
fallen, generally, so as to render the cost of living appreci
ably less. It is my opinion, therefore, that on the score of
reduction in prices there is no justification for reduction
in pay. The position is practically the same now as when

detail the possibility of reduction in personnel. The result
is that with a redistribution of work in my Headquarters
office I propose to surrender the posts (a) of Second Copyist,
Bushire (Bs. 100-4-1EQ pilna House Bent Bs. 20), and (b)
of Besidency Agent at Behbehan (Bs. 23) which has been vacant
since 1 st March 1924, when the late incumbent resigned. These
are all the reductions in numbers which I can suggest at
present with due regard to efficiency.

Secretary retires in July next. In considering the question
of his successor I shall probably recommend a re-adjustmsit
of duties which may result in some reduction in the cost of
establishment. I shall address the Government of India on
this question later after examining all the aspects of the
case. I will merely now remind the Government of India
that when the Mir MunsMU appointment was raised last

Interpreter was ordered to be abolished as soon as possible.
This measure was carried into effect last September, when the
Interpreter retired on pension. In this reduction of staff I
regret to report a noticeable diminution of efficiency because
